The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom, and humility comes before honor.
Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor.
Young men, in the same way, submit yourselves to your elders. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.
Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow His precepts gain rich understanding. His praise endures
And He said to man, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.’”
A man’s pride will bring him low, but a humble spirit will obtain honor.
Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king, and do not stand in the place of great men;
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus:
To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct, and perverse speech.
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
