"Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall."

[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."
