Pro 29:23 | MHM | STEP | Pride Brings Downfall, Humility Brings Honor This section shares a lesson that Jesus also taught: pride leads to disgrace, but humility leads to true honor. The commentary explains that people who try to make themselves look important will eventually be brought down, while those who are humble will be lifted up and respected by others and by God. v. 23 : The verse says, A man's pride shall bring him low, but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit . This means that if someone tries to show off or thinks too highly of themselves, they will end up losing respect and may even face shame. God may allow things to happen that will humble them. On the other hand, if a person is humble and does not seek attention, they will be honored in the end. Humility is what truly makes someone great and earns the respect of wise and good people. This matches what Jesus taught: Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted (Matthew 23:12 ).
