I am not coming against you today but against the house with which I am at war, and God has ordered me to hurry. Stop for your own sake from interfering with God who is with me, so that He will not destroy you.”

Through insolence comes nothing but strife,
But wisdom is with those who receive counsel.

Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before stumbling.

A fool’s lips bring strife,
And his mouth calls for blows.

Keeping away from strife is an honor for a man,
But any fool will quarrel.

Like one who takes a dog by the ears
Is he who passes by and meddles with strife not belonging to him.

An arrogant man stirs up strife,
But he who trusts in the Lord will prosper.

Thus says the Lord, “Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches;

But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit became so proud that he behaved arrogantly, he was deposed from his royal throne and his glory was taken away from him.

“Behold, as for the proud one,
His soul is not right within him;
But the righteous will live by his faith.

Or what king, when he sets out to meet another king in battle, will not first sit down and consider whether he is strong enough with ten thousand men to encounter the one coming against him with twenty thousand?

so that no man may boast before God.

But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
