And when his mind became arrogant and his spirit filled with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and his honor was removed from him.

And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted."

But he gives greater grace. Therefore it says, "God opposes the proud, but he gives grace to the humble."
