But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble.

When I fed them, they were satisfied; when they were satisfied, they became proud; then they forgot me.

The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rocks and make your home on the heights, you who say to yourself, 'Who can bring me down to the ground?

When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.

Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.

God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him.

If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

But, “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.” For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.

For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.

To fear the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.
