Psalms 75:5

Compare all

3 The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved;
I set up its pillars firmly. Selah

4 “I said to the boastful, ‘Do not deal boastfully,’
And to the wicked, ^a‘Do not lift up the horn.

5 Do not lift up your horn on high;
Do not speak with¹ a stiff neck.’ ”

6 For exaltation comes neither from the east
Nor from the west nor from the south.

7 But ^aGod is the Judge:
^bHe puts down one,
And exalts another.

Psalms 75:5

Speak not with a stiff neck - Mr. Bruce has observed that the Abyssinian kings have a horn on their diadem; and that the keeping it erect, or in a projecting form, makes them appear as if they had a stiff neck; and refers to this passage for the antiquity of the usage, and the appearance also.
