תּוֹרָה ריט

When a person hides and conceals and diminishes himself in humility and lowliness — Hashem Yisborach, as it were, also shows Himself to him in the aspect of humility and lowliness — and contracts His pride and His majesty and diminishes Himself — as it were — and dwells with him — in the aspect of: ""I dwell with the contrite."" But when a person is arrogant and aggrandises himself — G-d forbid — Hashem Yisborach also shows His pride and His greatness — so that who can endure and receive His honour and His pride, may He be blessed — for: ""behold the heavens and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You"" etc. [I Kings 8:27]. And from this comes the destruction of the Temple — due to our many sins. [And this is what is said about the destruction of the Temple: ""and this house shall be exalted.""]
