Proverbs #5: Humility

¹² Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.

⁵ Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

²⁵ The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.

²⁹ He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

¹⁰ Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.

² When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

¹ Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

⁴ An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

²⁴ Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.

⁴ By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.

²³ A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

¹⁸ Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

¹⁹ Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
