Haughty Eyes

Haughty eyes and a proud heart—the guides of the wicked—are sin.

Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

Let another praise you, and not your own mouth—a stranger, and not your own lips.

A song of ascents. Of David. My heart is not proud, O LORD, my eyes are not haughty. I do not aspire to great things or matters too lofty for me.

Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor.

But He gives us more grace. This is why it says: “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; the one with haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not endure.

A man’s pride will bring him low, but a humble spirit will obtain honor.

When pride comes, disgrace follows, but with humility comes wisdom.

Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but associate with the lowly. Do not be conceited.
