“Before destruction the heart of man is proud,but before honor is humility.”
Proverbs 18:12 (WEB)
Context Reading
10Yahweh’s name is a strong tower:the righteous run to him, and are safe. 11The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,like an unscalable wall in his own imagination. 12Before destruction the heart of man is proud,but before honor is humility. 13He who answers before he hears,that is folly and shame to him. 14A man’s spirit will sustain him in sickness,but a crushed spirit, who can bear?
