The fear of the Lord is the lesson of wisdom: and humility goeth before glory.
In like manner, ye young men, be subject to the ancients. And do you all insinuate humility one to another, for God resisteth the proud, but to the humble he giveth grace.
Before destruction, the heart of a man is exalted: and before he be glorified, it is humbled.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Be humbled in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
The wicked shall see, and shall be angry, he shall gnash with his teeth and pine away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
Humiliation followeth the proud: and glory shall uphold the humble of spirit.
Unjust witnesses rising up have asked me things I knew not.
And he said to man: Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom: and to depart from evil, is understanding.
Because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.
The fear of the Lord hateth evil: I hate arrogance, and pride, and every wicked way, and a mouth with a double tongue.
To know wisdom, and instruction:
He that rejecteth instruction, despiseth his own soul: but he that yieldeth to reproof possesseth understanding.
It is the part of man to prepare the soul: and of the Lord to govern the tongue.
