Haughty Spirit

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

• Heart

Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.

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

• Lowly
• Character
• Prudent

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he. The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning. read more Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly. The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips. Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him. An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire. A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends. show less

Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.

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

An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.

A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
