I assure you I mean no disrespect by the analogy, which is often made whenever someone is raised to great heights, then cast down. It’s food for thought.

I’m sure you didn’t mean harm. I’ve never heard that scripture used to refer to just anyone raised to great heights then cast down. It’s always the sacred description of Jesus, and the suffering He went through daily while on this earth—despised and rejected of men.

Maybe you’re thinking of the scripture, he that exalts himself shall be humbled...

That one would apply to such a situation you mentioned.
