Before destruction a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor.
In context
10The name of Yahweh is a strong tower; the righteous runs into it and is safe. 11The wealth of the rich is his fortified city, a high wall—in his own imagination. 12Before destruction a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor. 13Whoever answers before he listens—it is folly to him, and shame. 14A man’s spirit will carry him through sickness, but a broken spirit—who can bear it?
