Proverbs 16:18

18 ^aPride goes before destruction,
and a haughty spirit before a fall.

Isaiah 10:7-12

7 But he ^bdoes not so intend,
and his heart does not so think;
but it is in his heart to destroy,
and to cut off nations not a few;
8 for he says:
^c“Are not my commanders all kings?
9 ^dIs not ^eCalno like ^fCarchemish?
Is not ^gHamath like ^hArpad?
ⁱIs not ^jSamaria like Damascus?
10 As my hand has reached to ^kthe kingdoms of the idols,
whose carved images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11 shall I not do to Jerusalem and ^lher idols
^mas I have done to Samaria and her images?”
12 ⁿWhen the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, ^ohe ^{▼▼Hebrew I} will punish the speech of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and the boastful look in his eyes.

Ezekiel 28:2

2 ^q“Son of man, say to ^rthe prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord God:

^s“Because your heart is proud,
and ^tyou have said, ‘I am a god,
I sit in the seat of the gods,
in the heart of the seas,’
yet ^uyou are but a man, and no god,
^vthough you make your heart like the heart of a god—

Ezekiel 28:5

5 by your great wisdom in your trade
you have increased your wealth,
and ^wyour heart has become proud in your wealth—

Ezekiel 28:17

17 ^xYour heart was proud because of ^yyour beauty;
you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor.
I cast you to the ground;
I exposed you before kings,
to feast their eyes on you.

Habakkuk 2:4-6

4 “Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him,
but ^zthe righteous shall live by his faith. ^{▼▼Or faithfulness}
5 “Moreover, wine ^{▼▼Masoretic Text; Dead Sea Scroll wealth} is ^aca traitor,
an arrogant man who is never at rest. ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew of these two lines is uncertain}
His greed is as wide as Sheol;
like death ^aehe has never enough.
^afHe gathers for himself all nations
and collects as his own all peoples.”

Woe to the Chaldeans

6 Shall not all these ^agtake up their taunt against him, with scoffing and riddles for him, and say,

^ah“Woe to him ^aiwho heaps up what is not his own—
for ^ajhow long?—
and ^akloads himself with pledges!”

Acts 12:22-23

22 And the people were shouting, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!” 23 Immediately ^alan angel of the Lord struck him down, because ^amhe did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and breathed his last.
