"If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ
 and to godly teaching, they are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy
 interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious
talk, evil suspicions." 1 Timothy 5:3-4

"But they, our ancestors, became arrogant and stiff-necked, and they did not obey
your commands." Nehemiah 9:16

"Behold, as for the proud one, His soul is not right within him; But the righteous will
live by his faith. Furthermore, wine betrays the haughty man, so that he does not stay
at home. He enlarges his appetite like Sheol, And he is like death, never satisfied.
He also gathers to himself all nations And collects to
himself all peoples." Habakkuk 2:4-5

"He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; he has scattered those who are
proud in the thoughts of their hearts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones,
but has exalted the humble." Luke 1:51-52
