'Pride' in the Bible
“The [reverent] fear and worshipful awe of the Lord includes the hatred of evil;Pride and arrogance and the evil way,And the perverted mouth, I hate.
When pride comes [boiling up with an arrogant attitude of self-importance], then come dishonor and shame,But with the humble [the teachable who have been chiseled by trial and who have learned to walk humbly with God] there is wisdom and soundness of mind.
Through pride and presumption come nothing but strife,But [skillful and godly] wisdom is with those who welcome [well-advised] counsel.
In the mouth of the [arrogant] fool [who rejects God] is a rod for his back,But the lips of the wise [when they speak with godly wisdom] will protect them.
Pride goes before destruction,And a haughty spirit before a fall.
“Proud,” “Haughty,” “Scoffer,” are his namesWho acts with overbearing and insolent pride.
A man’s pride and sense of self-importance will bring him down,But he who has a humble spirit will obtain honor.
