James 4:8 BBE

⁶  But he gives more grace. So that the Writings say, God is against the men of pride, but he gives grace to those who make themselves low before him.

⁷  For this cause be ruled by God; but make war on the Evil One and he will be put to flight before you.

⁸  Come near to God and he will come near to you. Make your hands clean, you evil-doers; put away deceit from your hearts, you false in mind.

⁹  Be troubled, with sorrow and weeping; let your laughing be turned to sorrow and your joy to grief.

¹⁰  Make yourselves low in the eyes of the Lord and you will be lifted up by him.
