¹¹Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.

⁷Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

⁶Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.

⁸They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.

⁹They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.

⁴I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

⁵Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

⁶For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

⁵Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

²¹Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.

⁶⁹The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.

⁷⁰Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.

⁷⁸Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.

⁶Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

³⁴Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

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

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

¹³The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

¹⁷He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.

²When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

¹²He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.

⁹He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.

¹⁵The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.

¹⁰Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.

²¹He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.

⁵A fool despiseth his father’s instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.

¹⁰Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.

¹²A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.

²⁵The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.

³²He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.

⁵Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

¹⁸Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
