이사야 10:33의 미드라쉬

R. Elazar said: "And one who possesses haughtiness deserves to be cut off like a [grove] tree devoted to idolatry; for concerning presumption it is written (Is. 10, 33) And those of towering growth shall he hewn down, and concerning a [grove] tree, it is written (Dept. 7, 5) And their groves shall ye not turn down. R. Elazar said further: "Anyone who possesses haughtiness will not enjoy resurrection; for it is said (Is. 26, 19) Awake and sing ye, that dwell in the dust; i.e., it is not written that lie in the dust but that dwell in the dust, we infer this to mean he who dwelt in dust (lowered himself) during his life." R. Elazar said further: "Anyone who possesses haughtiness causes the Shechina to lament over him, as it is said (Ps. 138, 6) For though the Lord be high, yet regardeth He the lowly, and the haughty He knoweth from, afar." R. Avira, and according to others R. Elazar expounded: "Come and see how the custom of the Holy One, praised be He! is unlike the custom of frail man. The custom of frail men is that a great man will look upon another great man but a great one will not look upon a lowly one; the custom of the Holy One, praised be He! however, is not so, for He is elevated and yet seeth the lowly, as it is said For though the Lord be high yet regardeth He the lowly, and the haughty He knoweth from afar."
