Upon

The Lord of hosts has planned it, to defile the pride of all beauty,

To despise all the honored of the earth.

There are six things which the Lord hates,
Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:

Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord;
Assuredly, he will not be unpunished.

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride.”

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.

Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

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

General references

Pride goes before destruction,

And a haughty spirit before stumbling.

“I will lay waste the mountains and hills
And wither all their vegetation;
I will make the rivers into coastlands
And dry up the ponds.

And a mongrel race will dwell in Ashdod,
And I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

Behold, a day is coming for the Lord when the spoil taken from you will be divided among you.
