“Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.”
Proverbs 18:12 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 18:12
Pride precedes destruction, humility before honor—this reversal of worldly wisdom shows God's kingdom operates by different principles. The proud heart exalts itself for a fall, while the humble are lifted by God. This anticipates Jesus' teaching that the last shall be first (Matthew 23:12).
