Job 40:11-12
11Pour out the overflowings of your anger,and look on everyone who is aproud and abase him.
12Look on everyone who is proud and bring him low
and btread down the wicked cwhere they stand.
Daniel 4:30
30and the king answered and said, d“Is not this great Babylon, which I have built by emy mighty power as a royal residence and for fthe glory of my majesty?”Daniel 4:37
37Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, gpraise and extol and honor the hKing of heaven, ifor all his works are right and his ways are just; and jthose who walk in pride he is able to humble.Daniel 5:20-23
20But kwhen his heart was lifted up and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, lhe was brought down from his kingly throne, and his glory was taken from him. 21 mHe was driven from among the children of mankind, and his mind was made like that of a beast, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, nuntil he knew that the oMost High God rules the kingdom of mankind and sets over it whom he will. 22And you his son, ▼▼Or successor
qBelshazzar, rhave not humbled your heart, though you knew all this, 23but you have lifted up yourself against sthe Lord of heaven. And tthe vessels of his house have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them. uAnd you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, vbut the God in whose hand is your breath, and wwhose are all your ways, xyou have not honored. Luke 18:14
14I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For yeveryone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”2 Thessalonians 2:4
4who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, zproclaiming himself to be God.1 Peter 5:5
5Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. aaClothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for ab“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
