When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice. The LORD tears down the proud man's house but he keeps the widow's boundaries intact. The fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom, and humility comes before honor. The LORD detests all the proud of heart.
Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.
Better to be lowly in spirit and among the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud. Before his downfall a man's heart is proud, but humility comes before honor. Humility and the fear of the LORD bring wealth and honor and life. A man's pride brings him low, but a man of lowly spirit gains honor. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
