Yog li ntawd, txij no mus yuav tsis muaj ib tsob ntoo siab mus nto saum cov huab lawm. Txawm yog yuav ywg dej ntau npaum li cas los yeej yuav tsis siab li tsob ntawd. Tej ntawd puavleej yuav puastsuaj ib yam li tej neeg ntiajteb uas twb xub mus rau hauv tubtuag teb lawm.”
What Does This Mean?
Ezekiel 31:14 says that God will humble all proud trees by the water, showing that no one can be arrogant. God is speaking, warning that pride leads to downfall, and everyone will face death.
Explained for Children
Imagine a forest where tall trees think they're better than the others. God says that even these tall trees will be brought down, just like everyone else. It's like saying no one is too big to be humble.
Historical Background
Ezekiel wrote this around 591 BCE while in exile in Babylon. The message was directed to the people of Israel and the surrounding nations, warning against pride and reminding of God's sovereignty.
Living It Out Today
In today's world, this verse can remind business leaders not to become arrogant with their success. Just like the trees, they too will face challenges and need to stay humble.
