^12 (A)Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty,
And before honor is humility.

^(B)“God resists the proud,
But ^(C)gives grace to the humble.”

² When pride comes, then comes ^(A)shame;
But with the humble is wisdom.

¹⁸ Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before ^[a]a fall.

“Because your heart is ^(A)lifted^[a] up,
And ^(B)you say, ‘I am a god,
I sit in the seat of gods,
^(C)In the midst of the seas,’
^(D)Yet you are a man, and not a god,
Though you set your heart as the heart of a god

^23 (A)A man’s pride will bring him low,
But the humble in spirit will retain honor.

⁹ “Will you still ^(A)say before him who slays you,
‘I am a god’?
But you shall be a man, and not a god,
In the hand of him who slays you.
