The Spirit of Pride

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

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

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

Everyone who is proud in heart is detestable to the LORD; be assured that he will not go unpunished.

To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct, and perverse speech.

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

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

Arrogance leads only to strife, but wisdom is with the well-advised.

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

It is better to be lowly in spirit among the humble than to divide the spoil with the proud.
