Proverbs 18:12
Before destruction a man's heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.
"When men have ridden the high horse, destruction has always overtaken them... pride made a boaster a beast (Nebuchadnezzar), as once it made an angel a devil. God hates high looks, and never fails to bring them down. All the arrows of God are aimed at proud hearts." -- Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Morning and Evening
God opposes the proud. He is actively against pride. He fights it and delights in knocking it down a few pegs. By His grace He converts some by this process from proud enemies to faithful friends, from devlish despots to devoted disciples, from arrogant adversaries to humble believers.
