So that the kingdom might be made low with no power of lifting itself up, but might keep his agreement to be his servants.

δια να ταπεινωθη το βασιλειον, ωστε να μη ανορθωθη, δια να φυλαττη την συνθηκην αυτου, ωστε να στηριζη αυτην.

That the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping of his covenant it might stand.
