"Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall." |
|
Edited on Sun Apr-16-06 01:08 PM by stopbush
Thus spake Proverbs 16:18.
Here's some more in the same vein:
Proverbs 11:2-3 "When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them."
I wonder why no one brought this up when most of the country was busy strutting their "proud ta be an aMURK-in" stuff back in 2003? Mighta helped us avoid today's shame, not to mention the destruction.

1. which translation are you using? |
|
Just curious.
The King James reads "Pride goeth before a fall and an evil spirit before destruction."
Another applicable verse is: "Be sure your sin will find you out."
