Your glory, O God, is
above earth and heaven;
may your name alone
be exalted.
We praise your name.
Forgive me when I
burn with jealous anger,
when I love human glory
more than
glory that comes from
you.

Let them praise the name of the Lord,
for his name alone is exalted;
his glory is above earth and heaven.
for his name alone is exalted;
his glory is above earth and heaven.
Esth. 1:12
But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king's command
conveyed by the eunuchs. At this the
king was enraged, and his anger burned within him.
Acts 17:4-5a
Some of [those who heard Paul preach] were persuaded and
joined Paul and Silas, as did a great many of the devout Greeks and not a few
of the leading women. But the Jews became jealous, and with the help of
some ruffians in the marketplaces they formed a mob and set the city in an
uproar.
John 12:42-43
Nevertheless many, even of the authorities, believed in [Jesus].
But because of the Pharisees they did
not confess it, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue; for they
loved human glory more than the glory that comes from God.
