In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain.
When that day comes, you won't have to carry shame for all the ways you've messed up and gone against me. I'm going to remove the people from among you who celebrate their own pride, and you won't be arrogant anymore just because you're connected to my sacred place.
God's promise: your shame gets replaced with humility, and toxic pride gets shown the door.
