  • Psalm 10:4
    The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God;
    God is in none of his thoughts.
     
  • 1 Corinthians 8:1-2
    Now concerning things offered to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies. And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.
     
  • Proverbs 21:4
    A haughty look, a proud heart,
    And the plowing of the wicked are sin.

     
  • Isaiah 14:12-14
    "How you are fallen from heaven,
    O Lucifer, son of the morning!
    How you are cut down to the ground,
    You who weakened the nations!
    For you have said in your heart:
    'I will ascend into heaven,
    I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
    I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
    On the farthest sides of the north;
    I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
    I will be like the Most High.'

     
  • 1 Corinthians 4:6-7
    Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that you may learn in us not to think beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up on behalf of one against the other. For who makes you differ from another? And what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
     
  • Proverbs 13:10
    By pride comes nothing but strife,
    But with the well-advised is wisdom.

     
  • Isaiah 3:16-24
    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,
    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.”
    In that day the Lord will take away the finery:
    The jingling anklets, the scarves, and the crescents;
    The pendants, the bracelets, and the veils;
    The headdresses, the leg ornaments, and the headbands;
    The perfume boxes, the charms, and the rings;
    The nose jewels, the festal apparel, and the mantles;
    The outer garments, the purses, and the mirrors;
    The fine linen, the turbans, and the robes. 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.

     
  • Ezekiel 28:17
    "Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty;
    You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor;
    I cast you to the ground,
    I laid you before kings,
    That they might gaze at you.

     
  • Revelation 3:17-18
    Because you say, "I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing"—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
     
  • Job 41:34
    He beholds every high thing;
    He is king over all the children of pride.'
     
  • Psalm 10:2
    The wicked in his pride persecutes the poor;
    Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.
     
  • Proverbs 3:34
    Surely He scorns the scornful,
    But gives grace to the humble.

     
  • Proverbs 26:16
    The lazy man is wiser in his own eyes
    Than seven men who can answer sensibly.

     
  • Isaiah 2:6-11
    For You have forsaken Your people, the house of Jacob,
    Because they are filled with eastern ways;
    They are soothsayers like the Philistines,
    And they are pleased with the children of foreigners.
    Their land is also full of silver and gold,
    And there is no end to their treasures;
    Their land is also full of horses,
    And there is no end to their chariots.
    Their land is also full of idols;
    They worship the work of their own hands,
    That which their own fingers have made.
    People bow down,
    And each man humbles himself;
    Therefore do not forgive them.
    Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust,
    From the terror of the LORD
    And the glory of His majesty.
    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.

     
  • James 4:6
    But He gives more grace. Therefore He says:
    " God resists the proud,
    But gives grace to the humble."
     
  • 1 Peter 3:3-4
    Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.
     
  • 1 John 2:15-17
    Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
     
  • Ecclesiastes 1:14
    I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.

     
  • Ecclesiastes 6:9
    Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of desire.
    This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

     
  • Revelation 18:7
    In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, "I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow."
