Habakkuk 2:4
4 "Behold the proud, his soul is not upright in him; but the just
shall live by his faith.
1 Samuel 2:2-3,7,9
2 "No one is holy like the LORD, for there is none besides You,
nor is there any rock like our God.
3 "Talk no more so very proudly; let no arrogance come from your
mouth, for the LORD is the God of knowledge; and by Him actions
are weighed.
7 The LORD makes poor and makes rich; he brings low and lifts
up.
9 ...by strength no man shall prevail.
Psalm 18:1-3,27-31,35,46
1 I will love You, O LORD, my strength.
2 The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God,
my strength, in whom I will trust; my shield and the horn of my
salvation, my stronghold.
3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised
27 ...You will save the humble people, but will bring down haughty
looks.
28 ...You will light my lamp; the LORD my God will enlighten my
darkness.
29 For by You I can run against a troop, by my God I can leap
over a wall.
30 As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is proven;
he is a shield to all who trust in Him.
31 For who is God, except the LORD? And who is a rock, except
our God?
35 You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; your right
hand has held me up, your gentleness has made me great.
46 The LORD lives! Blessed be my Rock! Let the God of my salvation
be exalted.
PROVERBS 27:1
1 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day
may bring forth.
PROVERBS 28:26
26 He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but whoever walks
wisely will be delivered.
Psalm 36:5-12
5 Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; your faithfulness reaches
to the clouds.
6 Your righteousness is like the great mountains; your judgments
are a great deep; O LORD, You preserve man and beast.
7 How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children
of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.
8 They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house,
and You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.
9 For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.
10 Oh, continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You, and
Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the
hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 There the workers of iniquity have fallen; they have been cast
down and are not able to rise.
PROVERBS 29:23
23 A man's pride will bring him low, but the humble in spirit
will retain honor.
Deuteronomy 8:2-3,10-20
2 "You shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way
these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you,
to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments
or not.
3 So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with
manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He
might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but
man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD.
10 When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the
LORD your God for the good land which He has given you.
11 Beware that you do not forget the LORD your God by not keeping
His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command
you today,
12 lest-- when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful
houses and dwell in them;
13 and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver
and your gold are multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;
14 when your heart is lifted up, and you forget the LORD your
God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of
bondage;
15 who led you through that great and terrible wilderness, in
which were fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty land where
there was no water; who brought water for you out of the flinty
rock;
16 who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers
did not know, that He might humble you and that He might test
you, to do you good in the end--
17 then you say in your heart, 'My power and the might of my
hand have gained me this wealth.'
18 ... you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who
gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant
which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.
19 Then it shall be, if you by any means forget the LORD your
God, and follow other gods, and serve them and worship them, I
testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.
20 As the nations which the LORD destroys before you, so you
shall perish, because you would not be obedient to the voice of
the LORD your God."
EZEKIEL 7:9-10
9 'My eye will not spare, nor will I have pity; I will repay you
according to your ways, and your abominations will be in your
midst. Then you shall know that I am the LORD who strikes.
10 Behold, the day! Behold, it has come! Doom has gone out; the
rod has blossomed, pride has budded.'
EZEKIEL 16:49-50
49 "Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and
her daughter had pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness;
neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50 And they were haughty and committed abomination before Me;
therefore I took them away as I saw fit."
Psalm 73:6-28
6 ...pride serves as their necklace; violence covers them like
a garment.
7 Their eyes bulge with abundance; they have more than heart could
wish.
8 They scoff and speak wickedly concerning oppression; they speak
loftily.
9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walks
through the earth.
10 Therefore his people return here, and waters of a full cup
are drained by them.
11 And they say, "How does God know? And is there knowledge in
the Most High?"
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who are always at ease; they
increase in riches.
13 Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands
in innocence.
14 For all day long I have been plagued, and chastened every morning.
15 If I had said, "I will speak thus," behold, I would have been
untrue to the generation of Your children.
16 When I thought how to understand this, it was too painful for
me-
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I understood their
end.
18 Surely You set them in slippery places; you cast them down
to destruction.
19 Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment! They
are utterly consumed with terrors.
20 As a dream when one awakes, so, Lord, when You awake, you shall
despise their image.
21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was vexed in my mind.
22 I was so foolish and ignorant; I was like a beast before You.
23 Nevertheless I am continually with You; you hold me by my right
hand.
24 You will guide me with Your counsel, and afterward receive
me to glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth
that I desire besides You.
26 My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
27 For indeed, those who are far from You shall perish; you have
destroyed all those who desert You for harlotry.
28 But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust
in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all Your works.
PROVERBS 14:3
3 In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride, but the lips of the
wise will preserve them.
James 4:16
16 ... you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
Psalm 52:7
7 "Here is the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted
in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his
wickedness."
Psalm 138:6
6 Though the LORD is on high, yet He regards the lowly; but the
proud He knows from afar.
PROVERBS 3:33-35
33 The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked, but He
blesses the home of the just.
34 Surely He scorns the scornful, but gives grace to the humble.
35 The wise shall inherit glory, but shame shall be the legacy
of fools.
PROVERBS 11:12
12 He who is devoid of wisdom despises his neighbor, but a man
of understanding holds his peace.
PROVERBS 15:10-12
10 Harsh discipline is for him who forsakes the way, and he who
hates correction will die.
11 Hell and Destruction are before the LORD; so how much more
the hearts of the sons of men.
12 A scoffer does not love one who corrects him, nor will he go
to the wise.
PROVERBS 25:14,27
14 Whoever falsely boasts of giving is like clouds and wind without
rain.
27 It is not good to eat much honey; so to seek one's own glory
is not glory.
PROVERBS 26:12
12 Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for
a fool than for him.
PROVERBS 27:2
2 Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger,
and not your own lips.
Isaiah 2:11-12
11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, the haughtiness of
men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in
that day.
12 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall come upon everything
proud and lofty, upon everything lifted up-- and it shall be brought
low--
Isaiah 3:16-26
16 Moreover the LORD says: "Because the daughters of Zion are
haughty, and walk with outstretched necks and wanton eyes, walking
and mincing as they go, making a jingling with their feet,
17 Therefore the Lord will strike with a scab the crown of the
head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will uncover their
secret parts."
18 In that day the Lord will take away the finery: the jingling
anklets, the scarves, and the crescents;
19 The pendants, the bracelets, and the veils;
20 The headdresses, the leg ornaments, and the headbands; the
perfume boxes, the charms,
21 and the rings; the nose jewels,
22 the festal apparel, and the mantles; the outer garments, the
purses,
23 and the mirrors; the fine linen, the turbans, and the robes.
24 And so it shall be: instead of a sweet smell there will be
a stench; instead of a sash, a rope; instead of well-set hair,
baldness; instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth; and
branding instead of beauty.
25 Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.
26 Her gates shall lament and mourn, and she being desolate shall
sit on the ground.
HOSEA 5:5
5 The pride of Israel testifies to his face;
Isaiah 5:15
15 People shall be brought down, each man shall be humbled, and
the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled.
Zephaniah 3:12
12 I will leave in your midst a meek and humble people,
and they shall trust in the name of the LORD.
Isaiah 23:9
9 The LORD of hosts has purposed it, to bring to dishonor the
pride of all glory...
Isaiah 24:4
4 The earth mourns and fades away, the world languishes and fades
away; the haughty people of the earth languish.
PROVERBS 15:33
33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom, and before
honor is humility.
1 Peter 5:5-11
5 ...be clothed with humility, for "God resists the proud, but
gives grace to the humble."
6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that
He may exalt you in due time,
7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks
about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings
are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.
10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal
glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect,
establish, strengthen, and settle you.
11 To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
