Provérbios 18:12 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 18:12

Before destruction the heart of man is haughty
Lifted up with his riches. Rich men are apt to be highminded, and therefore are to be charged and cautioned against it; they are apt to look above their poor neighbours, and with contempt upon them; and very often this haughtiness of theirs is a presage of their ruin and destruction: and those haughty airs are put on from the pride of their hearts, when a "breach" is near, as the word F21 signifies, or when they are ready to break; however, their haughty spirits are, sooner or later, humbled by one distressing providence or another; see ( Proverbs 16:18 ) ; and before honour [is] humility; (See Gill on Proverbs 15:33).

Provérbios 18:12 In-Context

10 O nome do SENHOR é uma torre forte;os justos correm para ela e estão seguros.
11 A riqueza dos ricos é a sua cidade fortificada,eles a imaginam como um muro que é impossível escalar.
12 Antes da sua queda o coração do homem se envaidece,mas a humildade antecede a honra.
13 Quem responde antes de ouvircomete insensatez e passa vergonha.
14 O espírito do homem o sustenta na doença;mas, o espírito deprimido, quem o levantará?
