“Therefore, when the psalm itself said: Do not lift up your horn on high, and do not speak unrighteousness against God, it immediately added: For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the deserts of the mountains; for God is the judge, He puts down one and exalts another. He sees two men, that is, two kind…”

4I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
5Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
— Psalms 75:6 —
7But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
8For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.
