• Psalm 73:1-9
    Truly God is good to Israel,
    To such as are pure in heart.
    But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled;
    My steps had nearly slipped.
    For I was envious of the boastful,
    When I saw the prosperity of the wicked. For there are no pangs in their death,
    But their strength is firm.
    They are not in trouble as other men,
    Nor are they plagued like other men.
    Therefore pride serves as their necklace;
    Violence covers them like a garment.
    Their eyes bulge with abundance;
    They have more than heart could wish.
    They scoff and speak wickedly concerning oppression;
    They speak loftily.
    They set their mouth against the heavens,
    And their tongue walks through the earth.
     
  • Proverbs 16:18
    Pride goes before destruction,
    And a haughty spirit before a fall.

     
  • Hosea 7:8-12
    “ Ephraim has mixed himself among the peoples;
    Ephraim is a cake unturned.
    Aliens have devoured his strength,
    But he does not know it;
    Yes, gray hairs are here and there on him,
    Yet he does not know it.
    And the pride of Israel testifies to his face,
    But they do not return to the LORD their God,
    Nor seek Him for all this. “ Ephraim also is like a silly dove, without sense—
    They call to Egypt,
    They go to Assyria.
    Wherever they go, I will spread My net on them;
    I will bring them down like birds of the air;
    I will chastise them
    According to what their congregation has heard.

     
  • Luke 18:11-12
    The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, 'God, I thank You that I am not like other men—extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.'
     
  • Job 41:33-34
    On earth there is nothing like him,
    Which is made without fear. He beholds every high thing;
    He is king over all the children of pride.'
     
  • Psalm 39:5-6
    Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths,
    And my age is as nothing before You;
    Certainly every man at his best state is but vapor. Selah
    Surely every man walks about like a shadow;
    Surely they busy themselves in vain;
    He heaps up riches,
    And does not know who will gather them.
     
  • Psalm 62:9
    Surely men of low degree are a vapor,
    Men of high degree are a lie;
    If they are weighed on the scales,
    They are altogether lighter than vapor.

     
  • Proverbs 16:31

    If it is found in the way of righteousness.

     
  • Proverbs 26:12

    There is more hope for a fool than for him.

     
  • Ecclesiastes 1:2
    "Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher;
    "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity."

     
  • Isaiah 2:6-22
    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.
    For the day of the LORD of hosts
    Shall come upon everything proud and lofty,
    Upon everything lifted up—
    And it shall be brought low—
    Upon all the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up,
    And upon all the oaks of Bashan;
    Upon all the high mountains,
    And upon all the hills that are lifted up;
    Upon every high tower,
    And upon every fortified wall;
    Upon all the ships of Tarshish,
    And upon all the beautiful sloops.
    The loftiness of man shall be bowed down,
    And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low;
    The LORD alone will be exalted in that day,
    But the idols He shall utterly abolish.
    They shall go into the holes of the rocks,
    And into the caves of the earth,
    From the terror of the LORD
    And the glory of His majesty,
    When He arises to shake the earth mightily.
    In that day a man will cast away his idols of silver
    And his idols of gold,
    Which they made, each for himself to worship,
    To the moles and bats,
    To go into the clefts of the rocks,
    And into the crags of the rugged rocks,
    From the terror of the LORD
    And the glory of His majesty,
    When He arises to shake the earth mightily.
    Sever yourselves from such a man,
    Whose breath is in his nostrils;
    For of what account is he?

     
  • Isaiah 14:12-15
    "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.'
    Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol,
    To the lowest depths of the Pit.

    Now it happened, when Jeremiah had stopped speaking to all the people all the words of the LORD their God, for which the LORD their God had sent him to them, all these words, that Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men spoke, saying to Jeremiah, “You speak falsely! The LORD our God has not sent you to say, ‘Do not go to Egypt to dwell there.’
     
  • Jeremiah 49:16
    Your fierceness has deceived you,
    The pride of your heart,

    Who hold the height of the hill!
    Though you make your nest as high as the eagle,
    I will bring you down from there,” says the LORD.

     
  • Ezekiel 28:14-17
    "You were the anointed cherub who covers;
    I established you;
    You were on the holy mountain of God;
    You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.
    You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created,
    Till iniquity was found in you.
    "By the abundance of your trading
    You became filled with violence within,
    And you sinned;
    Therefore I cast you as a profane thing
    Out of the mountain of God;
    And I destroyed you, O covering cherub,
    From the midst of the fiery stones.
    "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.

     
  • Daniel 5:18-24
    O king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father a kingdom and majesty, glory and honor. And because of the majesty that He gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. Whomever he wished, he executed; whomever he wished, he kept alive; whomever he wished, he set up; and whomever he wished, he put down. But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him. Then he was driven from the sons of men, his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. They fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and appoints over it whomever He chooses. 'But you his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, although you knew all this. And you have lifted yourself up against the Lord of heaven. They have brought the vessels of His house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, which do not see or hear or know; and the God who holds your breath in His hand and owns all your ways, you have not glorified. Then the fingers of the hand were sent from Him, and this writing was written.
     
  • Luke 14:25-27
    Now great multitudes went with Him.

And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.

  • Obadiah 1:1-4
    The vision of Obadiah.
    Thus says the Lord GOD concerning Edom
    (We have heard a report from the LORD,
    And a messenger has been sent among the nations, saying,
    " Arise, and let us rise up against her for battle"):
    " Behold, I will make you small among the nations;
    You shall be greatly despised.
    The pride of your heart has deceived you,
    You who dwell in the clefts of the rock,
    Whose habitation is high;
    Youwho say in your heart, "Who will bring me down to the ground?"
    Though you ascend as high as the eagle,
    And though you set your nest among the stars,
    From there I will bring you down," says the LORD.

     
  • Matthew 15:17-20
    Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated? But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man."
     
  • John 8:29
