Luqmān's advice, moving from posture to voice.

The opening words

وَلَا تُصَعِّرْ خَدَّكَ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَمْشِ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مَرَحًا ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَالٍ فَخُورٍ وَٱقْصِدْ فِى مَشْيِكَ وَٱغْضُضْ مِن صَوْتِكَ ۚ إِنَّ أَنكَرَ ٱلْأَصْوَٰتِ لَصَوْتُ ٱلْحَمِيرِ

Wa lā tuṣaʿʿir khaddaka li-n-nāsi wa lā tamshi fi-l-arḍi maraḥā… wa-ghḍuḍ min ṣawtik…

The pronunciation above covers the opening of this passage, not all of it

And do not turn your cheek [in contempt] toward people and do not walk through the earth exultantly. Indeed, Allāh does not like everyone self-deluded and boastful. And be moderate in your pace and lower your voice; indeed, the most disagreeable of sounds is the voice of donkeys."

The recitation covers the whole verse these words are taken from. Recitation by Mishari Rashid al-Afasy, via Quran.com
