² When pride cometh, then cometh shame; But with the lowly is wisdom.

¹⁴ I say unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

³³ The fear of Jehovah is the instruction of wisdom; And before honor `goeth' humility.

¹⁸ Pride `goeth' before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.

¹⁹ Better it is to be of a lowly spirit with the poor, Than to divide the spoil with the proud.

²³ A man's pride shall bring him low; But he that is of a lowly spirit shall obtain honor.

⁸ When thou art bidden of any man to a marriage feast, sit not down in the chief seat; lest haply a more honorable man than thou be bidden of him,

⁹ and he that bade thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and then thou shalt begin with shame to take the lowest place.

¹⁰ But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that hath bidden thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have glory in the presence of all that sit at meat with thee.

¹¹ For everyone that exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

¹² Before destruction the heart of man is haughty; And before honor `goeth' humility.

¹ Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth.

² If any man thinketh that he knoweth anything, he knoweth not yet as he ought to know;

³⁴ Surely he scoffeth at the scoffers; But he giveth grace unto the lowly.

³⁵ The wise shall inherit glory; But shame shall be the promotion of fools.

³⁰ The king spake and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling-place, by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?

³¹ While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, `saying', O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken: The kingdom is departed from thee:

³² and thou shalt be driven from men; and they dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; thou shalt be made to eat grass as oxen; and seven times shall pass over thee; until thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
