    Comments: One might argue that {L:ταπεινόω} in {S:04200300500018} is to be understood as ‘to be brought low,’ but in contrast with πληρωθήσεται, which refers to filling up valleys, ταπεινωθήσεται should perhaps be understood as referring to ‘leveling off’ mountains and hills. For this other interpretation of {L:ταπεινόω} in {S:04200300500018}, see {D:81.7}.

    DefinitionShort: (derivative of {L:ταπεινός}[b] ‘humble,’ {D:88.52}) to cause someone to be or to become humble
    Glosses: ['to make humble', 'to humble']
    Comments: A strictly literal rendering of ‘he who humbles himself’ could be misunderstood as ‘one who despises himself’ or ‘one who has no regard for himself.’ In the context of {S:04001800400006} it is often important to use an idiomatic expression which will adequately convey the meaning, for example, ‘one who causes his heart to bow down’ or even ‘one who makes his heart small.’
