Look on every one that is
proud, and bring him low; and
tread down the wicked in their
place.
(Job 40:12)
O ye sons of men, how long will ye
turn my glory into shame? how long
will ye love vanity, and seek
after leasing? Selah. But know
that the LORD hath set apart him
that is godly for himself: the
LORD will hear when I call unto
him. Stand in awe, and sin not:
commune with your own heart upon
your bed, and be still. Selah.
(Psalm 4:2-4)
When I
consider thy heavens, the work of
thy fingers, the moon and the
stars, which thou hast ordained:
What is man, that thou art mindful
of him? and the son of man, that
thou visitest him?
(Psalm 8:3,4)
When he maketh inquisition for
blood, he remembereth them: he
forgetteth not the cry of the
humble.
(Psalm 9:12)
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.
(Psalm 10:2-4)
LORD, thou hast heard the desire
of the humble: thou wilt prepare
their heart, thou wilt cause thine
ear to hear:
(Psalm 10:17)
For thou wilt save the afflicted
people; but wilt bring down high
looks.
(Psalm 18:27)
The meek shall eat and be
satisfied: they shall praise the
LORD that seek him: your heart
shall live for ever.
(Psalm 22:26)
For
yet a little while, and the wicked
shall not be: yea, thou shalt
diligently consider his place, and
it shall not be.
But the meek shall inherit the
earth; and shall delight
themselves in the abundance of
peace.
(Psalm 37:10,11)
Blessed is that man that maketh
the LORD his trust, and respecteth
not the proud, nor such as turn
aside to lies.
(Psalm 40:4)
The sacrifices of God are a broken
spirit: a broken and a contrite
heart, O God, thou wilt not
despise.
(Psalm 51:17)
Thou hast rebuked the proud that
are cursed, which do err from thy
commandments.
(Psalm
119:21)
The Lord upholdeth all that fall,
and raiseth up all those that be
bowed down. The eyes of all wait
upon thee; and thou givest them
their meat in due season. Thou
openest thine hand, and satisfiest
the desire of every living thing.
The Lord is righteous in all his
ways, and holy in all his works.
(Psalm 145:14-17)
The LORD lifteth up the meek: he
casteth the wicked down to the
ground.
(Psalm 147:6)
Pride goeth before
destruction, and an haughty spirit
before a
fall.
(Proverbs 16:18)
An high look, and a proud
heart, and the plowing of the
wicked,
is sin.
(Proverbs 21:4)
Seest thou a man wise in his own
conceit? there is more hope of a
fool than of him.
(Proverbs 26:12)
Let
another man praise thee, and not
thine own mouth; a stranger, and
not thine own lips.
(Proverbs 27:2)
He
that is of a proud heart stirreth
up strife: but he that putteth his
trust in the LORD shall be made
fat. He that trusteth in his own
heart is a fool: but whoso walketh
wisely, he shall be delivered.
(Proverbs 28:25,26)
Woe unto them that are wise
in their own eyes, and prudent in
their own sight!
(Isaiah
5:21) |
