NETBible

Before destruction the heart¹ of a person is proud, but humility comes² before honor.³

NET Notes

¹sn The term “heart” is a metonymy of subject, referring to the seat of the spiritual and intellectual capacities – the mind, the will, the motivations and intentions. Proud ambitions and intentions will lead to a fall.

²tn Heb “[is] before honor”; cf. CEV “humility leads to honor.”

³sn The way to honor is through humility (e.g., Prov 11:2; 15:33; 16:18). The humility and exaltation of Jesus provides the classic example (Phil 2:1-10).
