Proverbs 16:18

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

Isaiah 10:8-14

8for he says:
^b“Are not my commanders all kings?
9 ^cIs not ^dCalno like ^eCarchemish?
Is not ^fHamath like ^gArpad?
^hIs not ⁱSamaria like Damascus?
10As my hand has reached to ^jthe kingdoms of the idols,
whose carved images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11shall I not do to Jerusalem and ^kher idols
^las I have done to Samaria and her images?”
12 ^mWhen the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, ⁿhe ▼

▼Hebrew I

will punish the speech of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and the boastful look in his eyes. 13 ^pFor he says:

“By the strength of my hand I have done it,
and by my wisdom, for I have understanding;
I remove the boundaries of peoples,
and plunder their treasures;
like a bull I bring down those who sit on thrones.
14My hand has found like a nest
the wealth of the peoples;
and as one gathers eggs that have been forsaken,
so I have gathered all the earth;
and there was none that moved a wing
or opened the mouth or chirped.”

Isaiah 37:11-15

11Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, devoting them to destruction. And shall you be delivered? 12 ^qHave the gods of the nations delivered them, the nations that my fathers destroyed, ^rGozan, ^sHaran, Rezeph, and the people of Eden who were in Telassar? 13 ^tWhere is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the city of Sepharvaim, the king of Hena, or the king of Ivvah?’”

Hezekiah’s Prayer for Deliverance

14Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord, and spread it before the Lord. 15And Hezekiah prayed to the Lord:

Ezekiel 31:3-18

3Behold, ^uAssyria was a ^vcedar in ^wLebanon,
with beautiful branches and ^xforest shade,
^yand of towering height,
its top among the clouds. ▼

▼Or  its top went through the thick boughs; also verses 10, 14

4The waters nourished it;
the deep made it grow tall,
making ^aaits rivers flow
around the place of its planting,
sending forth its streams
to all the trees of the field.
5So ^abit towered high
above all the trees of the field;
its boughs grew large
and its branches long
from ^acabundant water in its shoots.
6 ^adAll the birds of the heavens
made their nests in its boughs;
under its branches all the beasts of the field
gave birth to their young,
and under its shadow
lived all great nations.
7It was ^aebeautiful in its greatness,
in the length of its branches;
^affor its roots went down
to abundant waters.
8 ^agThe cedars ^ahin the garden of God could not rival it,
nor the fir trees equal its boughs;
neither were the plane trees
like its branches;
no tree ^aiin the garden of God
was its equal in beauty.
9I made it beautiful
in the mass of its branches,
and all the trees of ^ajEden envied it,
that were in the garden of God.
10“Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because ^akit ▼

▼Syriac, Vulgate; Hebrew you

towered high and set its top among the clouds, and ^amits heart was proud of its height, 11I will give it into the hand of a mighty one of the nations. He shall surely deal with it as its wickedness deserves. I have cast it out. 12 ^anForeigners, ^aothe most ruthless of nations, have cut it down and left it. ^apOn the mountains and in all the valleys its branches have fallen, and its boughs have been broken in all ^aqthe ravines of the land, and ^arall the peoples of the earth have gone away from its shadow and left it. 13 ^asOn its fallen trunk dwell all the birds of the heavens, and on its branches are all the beasts of the field. 14 ^atAll this is in order that no trees by the waters may grow to towering height or set their tops among the clouds, and that no trees that drink water may reach up to them in height. For they are all given over to death, ^auto the world ^avbelow, among the children of man, ▼

▼Or  of Adam

with those who go down to the pit.

15“Thus says the Lord God: On the day ^axthe cedar ▼

▼Hebrew it

went down to Sheol I caused mourning; I closed the deep over it, and restrained its rivers, and many waters were stopped. I clothed Lebanon in gloom for it, and all the trees of the field fainted because of it. 16 ^azI made the nations quake at the sound of its fall, ^bawhen I cast it down to Sheol with those who go down to the pit. ^bbAnd all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, ^bcwere comforted in the world below. 17They also went down to Sheol with it, ^bdto those who are slain by the sword; yes, ^bethose who were its arm, ^bfwho lived under its shadow among the nations.

18 ^bg“Whom are you thus like in glory and in greatness ^bhamong the trees of Eden? ^biYou shall be brought down with ^bjthe trees of Eden to the world below. ^bkYou shall lie among the uncircumcised, ^blwith those who are slain by the sword.

^bm“This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, declares the Lord God.”

Daniel 4:30

30and the king answered and said, ^bn“Is not this great Babylon, which I have built by ^bomy mighty power as a royal residence and for ^bpthe glory of my majesty?”

Acts 12:22-23

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