When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high.
For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
