Pride lays people low,
but those of humble spirit gain honor.
(Proverbs 29:23 CEB)

There are those who curse their father
and don’t bless their mother.
There are those who think they are clean,
but haven’t washed off their own excrement.
There are those—
how arrogant are their eyes;
how their eyebrows are raised!
There are those whose teeth are swords;
their jaw is a butcher’s knife,
ready to devour the needy from the earth,
and the poor from humanity.
If you’ve been foolish and arrogant,
if you’ve been scheming,
put your hand to your mouth,
because churning milk makes curds,
squeezing the nose brings blood,
and stirring up anger produces strife.
(Proverbs 30:11-14,32-33 CEB)
