TSK · Proverbs 29:23

Who fed thee in the wildernesse with MAN, which thy fathers knewe not) to humble thee, and and to proue thee, that he might doe thee good at thy latter ende.

And the Lorde spake to Manasseh and to his people, but they would not regarde.

When others are cast downe, then shalt thou say, I am lifted vp: and God shall saue the humble person.

When pride commeth, then commeth shame: but with the lowly is wisdome.

Pride goeth before destruction, and an high minde before the fall.

The hie looke of man shall be humbled, and the loftinesse of men shalbe abased, and the Lord onely shall be exalted in that day.

For all these things hath mine hand made, and all these things haue bene, sayth the Lorde: and to him will I looke, euen to him, that is poore, and of a contrite spirite and trembleth at my wordes.

But when his heart was puft vp, and his minde hardened in pride, hee was deposed from his kingly throne, and they tooke his honour from him.

Blessed are the poore in spirit, for theirs is the kingdome of heauen.

For whosoeuer will exalt himselfe, shall be brought lowe: and whosoeuer will humble himselfe, shalbe exalted.

I tell you, this man departed to his house iustified, rather then the other: for euery man that exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shalbe exalted.

But the Scripture offereth more grace, and therefore sayth, God resisteth the proude, and giueth grace to the humble.
