For not from the east, nor from the west,You can't play to a crowd for true judgment. Some think that if they just make the right people happy, they get praised. But true praise doesn't come from Babylon, or Egypt, or Edom. It comes from God alone, and only He can exalt someone.
Nor from the desert comes exaltation;
Today, we might say that praise doesn't come form Washington politicians, or San Francisco activists. It doesn't come from foreign governments, or even from our bosses and co-workers. It can only come from God, because all other exaltation is fleeting and miniscule, compared to what He can do when we follow Him.
