Pride and Humility

From The King James Bible
God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble; humility is the path to exaltation, while pride goes before destruction.
Proverbs 16:18
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

'Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.'
