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

The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth.

The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

1. This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.

6. Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up.
