The fear of the Lord provides wise instruction, and before honor comes humility.

Before destruction the heart of a person is proud, but humility comes before honor.

The reward for humility and fearing the Lord is riches and honor and life.

Seek the Lord’s favor, all you humble people of the land who have obeyed his commands! Strive to do what is right! Strive to be humble! Maybe you will be protected on the day of the Lord’s angry judgment.
