Proverbs 15:25
God Opposes the Proud and Supports the Helpless This proverb teaches that God acts against those who are proud and defends those who are weak and alone. It reminds us that pride leads to ruin, while God takes care of people who have no one else to help them, especially widows and the poor. The verse shows us both a warning against arrogance and a promise of God’s protection for the humble .v. 25: "The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow" (Proverbs 15:25 a). God often brings down people who think too highly of themselves and act as if they are above everyone else. Their pride makes them feel safe and secure, but God will bring their plans and even their homes to nothing. Pride has caused the fall of many people. On the other hand, God watches over those who are weak, like widows, and protects what they have, even when they cannot defend themselves. God’s honor is shown by supporting those who are oppressed and humble.
