1 Samuel 2:3-4
3Talk no more so very proudly,let not arrogance come from your mouth;
for the Lord is a God of knowledge,
and by him actions are weighed.
4 aThe bows of the mighty are broken,
but the feeble bind on strength.
1 Samuel 14:11-12
11So both of them showed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines. And the Philistines said, “Look, Hebrews are coming bout of the holes where they have hidden themselves.” 12And the men of the garrison hailed Jonathan and his armor-bearer and said, “Come up to us, and we will show you a thing.” And Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, “Come up after me, for the Lord has given them into the hand of Israel.”1 Samuel 17:44
44The Philistine said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh cto the birds of the air and to the beasts of the field.”2 Kings 14:8-12
8 dThen Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash ▼▼ Jehoash is an alternate spelling of Joash (son of Jehoahaz) as in 13:9, 12–14; also verses 9, 11–16
the son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, flet us look one another in the face.” 9And Jehoash king of Israel sent word to Amaziah king of Judah, g“A thistle on Lebanon sent to a cedar on Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son for a wife,’ and a wild beast of Lebanon passed by and trampled down the thistle. 10You have indeed hstruck down Edom, iand your heart has lifted you up. Be content with your glory, and stay at home, for why should you provoke trouble so that you fall, you and Judah with you?” 11But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king of Israel went up, and he and Amaziah king of Judah jfaced one another in battle at kBeth-shemesh, which belongs to Judah. 12And Judah was defeated by Israel, land every man fled to his home.
Proverbs 18:12
12 mBefore destruction a man’s heart is haughty,but nhumility comes before honor.
