Proverbs 3:33–35 (Listen)
33 The LORD’s curse is on the house of the wicked,
but he blesses the dwelling of the righteous.
34 Toward the scorners he is scornful,
but to the humble he gives favor.
35 The wise will inherit honor,
but fools get disgrace.
(ESV)
Proverbs 11:2 (Listen)
2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
but with the humble is wisdom.
(ESV)
Proverbs 16:5 (Listen)
5 Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the LORD;
be assured, he will not go unpunished.
(ESV)
Proverbs 16:18–19 (Listen)
18 Pride goes before destruction,
and a haughty spirit before a fall.
19 It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor
than to divide the spoil with the proud.
(ESV)
Proverbs 22:4 (Listen)
4 The reward for humility and fear of the LORD
is riches and honor and life.
(ESV)
Philippians 2:1–11 (Listen)
2:1 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
