11
For when a man is dead, he shall inherit creeping things, beasts, and worms.
12
The beginning of pride is when one departeth from God, and his heart is turned away from his Maker.
13
For pride is the beginning of sin, and he that hath it shall pour out abomination: and therefore the Lord brought upon them strange calamities, and overthrew them utterly.
14
The Lord hath cast down the thrones of proud princes, and set up the meek in their stead.
15
The Lord hath plucked up the roots of the proud nations, and planted the lowly in their place.
16
The Lord overthrew countries of the heathen, and destroyed them to the foundations of the earth.
17
He took some of them away, and destroyed them, and hath made their memorial to cease from the earth.
18
Pride was not made for men, nor furious anger for them that are born of a woman.
19
They that fear the Lord are a sure seed, and they that love him an honourable plant: they that regard not the law are a dishonourable seed; they that transgress the commandments are a deceivable seed.
20
Among brethren he that is chief is honourably; so are they that fear the Lord in his eyes.
21
The fear of the Lord goeth before the obtaining of authority: but roughness and pride is the losing thereof.
