14
The beginning of the pride of man, is to fall off from God:
15
Because his heart is departed from him that made him: for pride is the beginning of all sin: be that holdeth it, shall be filled with maledictions, and it shall ruin him in the end.
16
Therefore hath the Lord disgraced the assemblies of the wicked, and hath utterly destroyed them.
17
God hath overturned the thrones of proud princes, and hath set up the meek in their stead.
18
God hath made the roots of proud nations to wither, and hath planted the humble of these nations.
