Amsal 16:18

16:18 Pride¹ goes² before destruction,

and a haughty spirit before a fall.³

Amsal 18:12

18:12 Before destruction the heart⁴ of a person is proud,

but humility comes⁵ before honor.⁶

Yesaya 10:12-15

10:12 But when⁷ the sovereign master⁸ finishes judging⁹ Mount Zion and Jerusalem, then I¹⁰ will punish the king of Assyria for what he has proudly planned and for the arrogant attitude he displays.¹¹ 10:13 For he says:

“By my strong hand I have accomplished this,

by my strategy that I devised.

I invaded the territory of nations,¹²

and looted their storehouses.

Like a mighty conqueror,¹³ I brought down rulers.¹⁴

10:14 My hand discovered the wealth of the nations, as if it were in a nest,

as one gathers up abandoned eggs,

I gathered up the whole earth.

There was no wing flapping,

or open mouth chirping.”¹⁵

10:15 Does an ax exalt itself over the one who wields it,

or a saw magnify itself over the one who cuts with it?¹⁶

As if a scepter should brandish the one who raises it,

or a staff should lift up what is not made of wood!

Yesaya 14:13-15

14:13 You said to yourself,¹⁷

“I will climb up to the sky.

Above the stars of El¹⁸

I will set up my throne.

I will rule on the mountain of assembly

on the remote slopes of Zaphon.¹⁹

14:14 I will climb up to the tops²⁰ of the clouds;

I will make myself like the Most High!”²¹

14:15 But you were brought down²² to Sheol,

to the remote slopes of the pit.²³

Yehezkiel 28:2-9

28:2 “Son of man, say to the prince²⁴ of Tyre, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says:

“‘Your heart is proud²⁵ and you said, “I am a god;²⁶

I sit in the seat of gods, in the heart of the seas” –

yet you are a man and not a god,

though you think you are godlike.²⁷

28:3 Look, you are wiser than Daniel;²⁸

no secret is hidden from you.²⁹

28:4 By your wisdom and understanding you have gained wealth for yourself;

you have amassed gold and silver in your treasuries.

28:5 By your great skill³⁰ in trade you have increased your wealth,

and your heart is proud because of your wealth.

28:6 “‘Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says:

Because you think you are godlike,³¹

28:7 I am about to bring foreigners³² against you, the most terrifying of nations.

They will draw their swords against the grandeur made by your wisdom,³³

and they will defile your splendor.

28:8 They will bring you down to the pit, and you will die violently³⁴ in the heart of the seas.

28:9 Will you still say, “I am a god,” before the one who kills you –

though you are a man and not a god –

when you are in the power of those who wound you?

Daniel 5:20

5:20 And when his mind³⁵ became arrogant³⁶ and his spirit filled with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and his honor was removed from him.

Daniel 5:23-30

5:23 Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. You brought before you the vessels from his temple, and you and your nobles, together with your wives and concubines, drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone – gods³⁷ that cannot see or hear or comprehend! But you have not glorified the God who has in his control³⁸ your very breath and all your ways! 5:24 Therefore the palm of a hand was sent from him, and this writing was inscribed.

5:25 “This is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE,³⁹ TEQEL, and PHARSIN.⁴⁰ 5:26 This is the interpretation of the words:⁴¹ As for mene⁴² – God has numbered your kingdom’s days and brought it to an end. 5:27 As for teqel – you are weighed on the balances and found to be lacking. 5:28 As for peres⁴³ – your kingdom is divided and given over to the Medes and Persians.”

5:29 Then, on Belshazzar’s orders,⁴⁴ Daniel was clothed in purple, a golden collar was placed around his neck, and he was proclaimed third ruler in the kingdom. 5:30 And in that very night Belshazzar, the Babylonian king,⁴⁵ was killed.⁴⁶
