³⁴ Surely he scorns the scorners; but he gives grace unto the humble.

¹⁶ These six things does the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

¹⁷ A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

¹⁸ a heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that are swift in running to evil,

¹⁹ a false witness that speaks lies, and he that sows discord among brethren.

² ¶ When pride comes, then comes shame, but with the humble is wisdom.

⁹ ¶ He that despises himself and becomes a slave is better than he that honours himself and lacks bread.

⁷ ¶ There are those that make themselves rich, yet have nothing: there are those that make themselves poor, yet have great riches.

¹⁰ ¶ Pride shall certainly give birth to contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.

²⁵ ¶ The LORD will destroy the house of the proud, but he will establish the inheritance of the widow.

³³ ¶ The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom, and before honour is humility.

⁵ ¶ Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD; the covenant that he makes, shall not be without chastening.

¹⁸ ¶ Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

¹⁹ ¶ It is better to humble your spirit with the lowly than to divide the spoil with the proud.
