What God Says About Human Pride.

1. The Global Flood, Was God Executing His Just, and Righteous Judgment, Against Sinful Mankind.

2. The Rainbow is the Symbol of His Covenant, to Never Again Destroy the Planet With a Flood.

3. To Use the Rainbow, as a Symbol of Pride, in Regards to Your Perverse Sins, is Blasphemous.

GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.

Proverbs 16:5
5 Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to Yahweh;
Assuredly, he will not be unpunished.

1. In Genesis, we read that God flooded the world because of how sinfully degenerate mankind had become. God is our Creator. He is the Law Giver, and Judge. He owns us. He has every right to do whatever He pleases with His creation. By breaking His laws, we deserve instant death, and eternal torment in Hell. God chose Noah, and his family. Noah found favor in His sight due to his faith. God provided a way for them to be saved from His just judgment. They must enter into that way of salvation. It was a wooden vessel, covered with pitch. The Hebrew word for pitch is also used to mean atonement. There was only one door, or way into the ark/salvation. Later in the Bible we read about a wooden cross, where Jesus atoned for our sins, and provides the only way of salvation. Jesus is the one, and only way. We must turn from our sins, and forsake them. We must trust in Jesus, the way Noah trusted God, and built an ark. John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through Me.

2. The rainbow is a symbol/sign of God’s covenant to never destroy the planet with a flood ever again. This covenant is one sided. It doesn’t depend on fallen mankind. It is from God. There is no way we can satisfy the righteous requirements of God’s laws. This is why God must provide for us. like the rainbow reminds us of God’s mercy, His new covenant in Jesus, provides our only hope for salvation.

Genesis 6:1 – 8:22
​¹ Now it happened, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, ² that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were good in appearance; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose. ³ Then Yahweh said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever because he indeed is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be 120 years.” ⁴ The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
⁵ Then Yahweh saw that the evil of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. ⁶ And Yahweh regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. ⁷ And Yahweh said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I regret that I have made them.” ⁸ But Noah found favor in the eyes of Yahweh.
The Generations of Noah
⁹ These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among those in his generations; Noah walked with God. ¹⁰ And Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
¹¹ Now the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. ¹² And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
¹³ Then God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth. ¹⁴ Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; you shall make the ark with rooms, and you shall cover it inside and out with pitch. ¹⁵ Now this is how you shall make it: the length of the ark 300 cubits, its breadth 50 cubits, and its height 30 cubits. ¹⁶ You shall make a window for the ark, and complete it to one cubit from the top; and set the door of the ark in the side of it; you shall make it with lower, second, and third decks. ¹⁷ As for Me, behold I am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall breathe its last. ¹⁸ But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you. ¹⁹ And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every kind into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. ²⁰ Of the birds after their kind, and of the animals after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive. ²¹ As for you, take for yourself some of all food which is edible, and gather it to yourself; and it shall be for food for you and for them.” ²² Thus Noah did; according to all that God had commanded him, so he did.
Noah and the Flood
​¹ Then Yahweh said to Noah, “Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you alone I have seen to be righteous before Me in this generation. ² You shall take with you of every clean animal by sevens, a male and his female; and of the animals that are not clean, two, a male and his female; ³ also of the birds of the sky, by sevens, male and female, to keep their seed alive on the face of all the earth. ⁴ For after seven more days, I will send rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and I will blot out from the face of the land every living thing that I have made.” ⁵ And Noah did according to all that Yahweh had commanded him.
  ⁶ Now Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of water came upon the earth. ⁷ Then Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him entered the ark because of the water of the flood. ⁸ Of clean animals and animals that are not clean and birds and everything that creeps on the ground, ⁹ by twos they came to Noah into the ark, male and female, as God had commanded Noah. ¹⁰ Now it happened after the seven days, that the water of the flood came upon the earth. ¹¹ In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on this day all the fountains of the great deep split open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened. ¹² Then the rain came upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.
¹³ On this very day Noah and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark, ¹⁴ they and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind—every fowl, every winged creature. ¹⁵ So they came to Noah into the ark, by twos of all flesh in which was the breath of life. ¹⁶ And those that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered as God had commanded him; and Yahweh closed it behind him.
¹⁷ Then the flood came upon the earth for forty days, and the water multiplied and lifted up the ark, so that it rose above the earth. ¹⁸ And the water prevailed and multiplied greatly upon the earth, and the ark went on the surface of the water. ¹⁹ And the water prevailed more and more upon the earth, so that all the high mountains under all the heavens were covered. ²⁰ The water prevailed fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered. ²¹ And all flesh that moved on the earth breathed its last, that is birds and cattle and beasts and every swarming thing that swarms upon the earth, as well as all mankind. ²² All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life—of all that was on the dry land—died. ²³ Thus He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky, and they were blotted out from the earth; and only Noah remained, and those that were with him in the ark. ²⁴ And the water prevailed upon the earth 150 days.
The Water Dries Up
​¹ Then God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the water subsided. ² Also the fountains of the deep and the floodgates of the sky were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained; ³ and the water receded from the earth, going forth and returning, and at the end of 150 days the water decreased. ⁴ In the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat. ⁵ Now the water decreased steadily until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared.
⁶ Then it happened at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made; ⁷ and he sent out a raven, and it went out flying back and forth until the water was dried up from the earth. ⁸ Then he sent out a dove from him, to see if the water was abated from the face of the land; ⁹ but the dove found no resting place for the sole of its foot, so it returned to him into the ark, for the water was on the surface of all the earth. Then he stretched out his hand and took it and brought it into the ark to himself. ¹⁰ Then he waited yet another seven days; and again he sent out the dove from the ark. ¹¹ And the dove came to him toward evening, and behold, in its beak was a freshly picked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the water was abated from the earth. ¹² Then he waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove; but it did not return to him again.
¹³ Now it happened in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the water was dried up from the earth. Then Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was dried up. ¹⁴ In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry. ¹⁵ Then God spoke to Noah, saying, ¹⁶ “Go out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons’ wives with you. ¹⁷ Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you, birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may swarm on the earth, and that they may be fruitful and multiply on the earth.” ¹⁸ So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him. ¹⁹ Every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, went out by their families from the ark.
Yahweh’s Covenant with Noah
²⁰ Then Noah built an altar to Yahweh and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar. ²¹ And Yahweh smelled the soothing aroma; and Yahweh said to Himself, “I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intent of man’s heart is evil from his youth; and I will never again strike down every living thing as I have done.
  ²² While all the days of the earth remain,
Seedtime and harvest,
And cold and heat,
And summer and winter,
And day and night
Shall not cease.”Luke 14:11
“For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Matthew 23:12
And whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.

1 Peter 5:5-7
⁵ You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.
⁶ Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, ⁷ CASTING ALL YOUR ANXIETY ON HIM, because He cares for you.

James 4:1-10
​¹ What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members? ² You lust and do not have, so you murder. You are envious and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask. ³ You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures. ⁴ You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever wishes to be a friend of the world sets himself as an enemy of God. ⁵ Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose: “He jealously desires the Spirit which He has made to dwell in us”? ⁶ But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.” ⁷ Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. ⁸ Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. ⁹ Be miserable and mourn and cry. Let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom. ¹⁰ Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.

Philippians 2:3-11
³ doing nothing from selfish ambition or vain glory, but with humility of mind regarding one another as more important than yourselves, ⁴ not merely looking out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. ⁵ Have this way of thinking in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, ⁶ who, although existing in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, ⁷ but emptied Himself, by taking the form of a slave, by being made in the likeness of men. ⁸ Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. ⁹ Therefore, God also highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, ¹⁰ so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, ¹¹ and that EVERY TONGUE WILL CONFESS that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father.

Romans 12:3
³ For through the grace given to me I say to each one among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound thinking, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.

Isaiah 57:15
¹⁵ For thus says the One high and lifted up
Who dwells forever, whose name is Holy,
“I dwell on a high and holy place,
And also with the crushed and lowly of spirit
In order to revive the spirit of the lowly
And to revive the heart of the crushed.

Isaiah 66:2
² For My hand made all these things,
Thus all these things came into being,” declares Yahweh.
“But to this one I will look,
To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word.

Proverbs 3:34
³⁴ Though He scoffs at the scoffers,
Yet He gives grace to the humble.

Proverbs 11:2
² When arrogance comes, then comes disgrace,
But with the meek is wisdom.

Proverbs 18:12
¹² Before destruction the heart of man is haughty,
But humility goes before glory.

Proverbs 22:4
⁴ The reward of humility—the fear of Yahweh—
Is riches, glory, and life.

Proverbs 29:23
²³ A man’s lofty pride will bring him low,
But a lowly spirit will take hold of glory.

Proverbs 21:4
4 Haughty eyes and a proud heart—
The fallow ground of the wicked—are sin.

Psalms 25:9
⁹ May He lead the humble in justice,
And may He teach the humble His way.

3. Pride in any human work is not a virtue. All human pride is sin. To be proud of sexual immorality is sin. To boast about wickedness, and then rob God of His covenant symbol, and pervert it for your own abominable deeds is blasphemy. God will not hold blameless the one who blasphemes Him.

Here are the 1828 Webster’s definitions of, “blasphemy” and “pride.”

“Blasphemy

BLAS’PHEMY, noun An indignity offered to God by words or writing; reproachful, contemptuous or irreverent words uttered impiously against Jehovah.

Blasphemy is an injury offered to God, by denying that which is due and belonging to him, or attributing to him that which is not agreeable to his nature.

In the middle ages, blasphemy was used to denote simply the blaming or condemning of a person or thing. Among the Greeks, to blaspheme was to use words of ill omen, which they were careful to avoid.

1. That which derogates from the prerogatives of God. Mark 2:1.”

“PRIDE, noun

1. Inordinate self-esteem; an unreasonable conceit of one’s own superiority in talents, beauty, wealth, accomplishments, rank or elevation in office, which manifests itself in lofty airs, distance, reserve, and often in contempt of others.

Martial pride looks down on industry.

PRIDE goeth before destruction. Proverbs 16:18.

PRIDE that dines on vanity, sups on contempt.

All pride is abject and mean.

Those that walk in pride he is able to abase. Daniel 4:37.

2. Insolence; rude treatment of others; insolent exultation.

That hardly we escap’d the pride of France.

3. Generous elation of heart; a noble self-esteem springing from a consciousness of worth.

The honest pride of conscious virtue.

4. Elevation; loftiness.

A falcon tow’ring in her pride of place.

5. Decoration; ornament; beauty displayed.

Whose lofty trees, clad with summer’s pride

Be his this sword

Whose ivory sheath, inwrought with curious pride

Adds graceful terror to the wearer’s side.

6. Splendid show; ostentation.

Is this array, the war of either side

Through Athens pass’d with military pride

7. That of which men are proud; that which excites boasting.

I will cut off the pride of the Philistines. Zechariah 9:6. Zephaniah 3:11.

8. Excitement of the sexual appetite in a female beast.

9. Proud persons. Psalms 36:11.

PRIDE, verb transitive With the reciprocal pronoun, to pride one’s self, to indulge pride; to take pride; to value one’s self; to gratify self-esteem. They pride themselves in their wealth, dress or equipage. He prides himself in his achievements.”

I’d like you to also consider some synonyms to the word, “pride.”

^1. “1. Pride, conceit, self-esteem, egotism, vanity, vainglory imply an unduly favorable idea of one’s own appearance, advantages, achievements, etc., and often apply to offensive characteristics. Pride is a lofty and often arrogant assumption of superiority in some respect: Pride must have a fall. Conceit implies an exaggerated estimate of one’s own abilities or attainments, together with pride: blinded by conceit. Self-esteem may imply an estimate of oneself that is higher than that held by others: a ridiculous self-esteem. Egotism implies an excessive preoccupation with oneself or with one’s own concerns, usually but not always accompanied by pride or conceit: His egotism blinded him to others’ difficulties. Vanity implies self-admiration and an excessive desire to be admired by others: His vanity was easily flattered. Vainglory, somewhat literary, implies an inordinate and therefore empty or unjustified pride: puffed up by vainglory.”

Leviticus 26:14-46
Reject His Statutes and He Will Strike You
14 ‘But if you do not obey Me and do not do all these commandments, 15 if, instead, you reject My statutes, and if your soul loathes My judgments so as not to do all My commandments and so break My covenant, 16 I, in turn, will do this to you: I will appoint over you a sudden terror, consumption and fever that will waste away the eyes and cause the soul to pine away; also, you will sow your seed uselessly, for your enemies will eat it up. 17 And I will set My face against you so that you will be defeated before your enemies; and those who hate you will have dominion over you, and you will flee when no one is pursuing you. 18 If also after these things you do not obey Me, then I will discipline you seven times more for your sins. 19 I will also break down your pride of strength; I will also give your sky over to become like iron and your earth like bronze. 20 And your power will be spent uselessly, for your land will not give forth its produce and the trees of the land will not give forth their fruit.
21 ‘If then, you walk in hostility against Me and are unwilling to obey Me, I will increase the plague on you seven times according to your sins. 22 And I will send out among you the beasts of the field, which will bereave you of your children and cut down your cattle and reduce your number so that your roads lie desolate.
23 ‘And if by these things you do not accept My discipline, but walk in hostility against Me, 24 then I will walk in hostility against you; and I, even I, will strike you seven times for your sins. 25 I will also bring upon you a sword which will execute vengeance for the covenant; and when you gather together into your cities, I will send pestilence among you so that you shall be given over into enemy hands. 26 When I break your staff of bread, ten women will bake your bread in one oven, and they will bring back your bread by rationed weight so that you will eat and not become full.
27 ‘Yet, if in spite of this you do not obey Me, but walk in hostility against Me, 28 then I will walk in wrathful hostility against you, and I, even I, will discipline you seven times for your sins. 29 Further, you will eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters you will eat. 30 I then will destroy your high places and cut down your incense altars and give your corpses to lie on the corpses of your idols, for My soul shall loathe you. 31 And I will give your cities over as a waste and will make your sanctuaries desolate, and I will not smell your soothing aromas. 32 And I will make the land desolate, so that your enemies who inhabit it will themselves feel desolate because of it. 33 You, however, I will scatter among the nations and will draw out a sword after you, as your land becomes desolate and your cities become waste.
34 ‘Then the land will make up for its sabbaths all the days of the desolation, and you will be in your enemies’ land; then the land will rest and make up for its sabbaths. 35 All the days of its desolation it will observe the rest which it did not observe on your sabbaths, while you were living on it. 36 As for those of you who may remain, I will also bring weakness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. And the sound of a driven leaf will pursue them, and even when no one is pursuing they will flee as though from the sword, and they will fall. 37 They will therefore stumble over each other as if running from the sword, although no one is pursuing; and you will have no strength to stand up before your enemies. 38 But you will perish among the nations, and your enemies’ land will consume you. 39 So those of you who may remain will rot away in their iniquity in the lands of your enemies; and also in the iniquities of their fathers they will rot away with them.
40 ‘If they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, in their unfaithfulness which they committed against Me, and also how they walked in hostility against Me— 41 I also was walking in hostility against them, to bring them into the land of their enemies—or if their uncircumcised heart becomes humbled so that they then make up for their iniquity, 42 then I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and I will remember also My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham as well, and I will remember the land. 43 For the land will be forsaken by them and will make up for its sabbaths while it is made desolate without them. They, meanwhile, will be making up for their iniquity because they rejected My judgments and their soul loathed My statutes. 44 Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, nor will I so loathe them as to bring an end to them, breaking My covenant with them; for I am Yahweh their God. 45 But I will remember for them the covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am Yahweh.’”
46 These are the statutes and judgments and laws which Yahweh has given to be between Himself and the sons of Israel by the hand of Moses at Mount Sinai.

2 Chronicles 26:16-23
16 But when he became strong, his heart was so proud that he acted corruptly, and he was unfaithful to Yahweh his God. And he entered the temple of Yahweh to burn incense on the altar of incense. 17 Then Azariah the priest entered after him and with him eighty priests of Yahweh, men of valor. 18 And they stood against Uzziah the king and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to Yahweh, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron who are set apart as holy to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have been unfaithful and will have no honor from Yahweh God.” 19 But Uzziah, with a censer in his hand for burning incense, was enraged; and while he was enraged with the priests, the leprosy broke out on his forehead before the priests in the house of Yahweh, beside the altar of incense. 20 And Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and behold, he was leprous on his forehead; and they hurried him out of there, and he himself also hastened to get out because Yahweh had smitten him. 21 So King Uzziah was a leper to the day of his death; and he lived in a separate house, being a leper, for he was cut off from the house of Yahweh. And Jotham his son was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land.
22 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first to last, the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz, has written. 23 So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the grave which belonged to the kings, for they said, “He is a leper.” And Jotham his son became king in his place.

Psalms 10:1-3
1 Why do You stand afar off, O Yahweh?
Why do You hide Yourself in times of distress?
2 In his lofty pride the wicked hotly pursues the afflicted;
Let them be caught in the thoughts which they have devised.
3 For the wicked boasts of his soul’s desire,
And the greedy man curses and spurns Yahweh.

Psalms 31:17-19
17 O Yahweh, let me not be put to shame, for I call upon You;
Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol.
18 Let the lying lips be mute,
Which speak arrogantly against the righteous
With lofty pride and contempt.
19 How great is Your goodness,
Which You have stored up for those who fear You,
Which You have worked for those who take refuge in You,
Before the sons of men!

Psalms 31:23-24
23 Oh, love Yahweh, all you His holy ones!
Yahweh guards the faithful
But repays fully the one who acts in lofty pride.
24 Be strong and let your heart take courage,
All you who wait for Yahweh.

Psalms 36:10-12
10 Continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You,
And Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Let not the foot of pride come upon me,
And let not the hand of the ungodly drive me away.
12 There the workers of wickedness have fallen;
They have been thrust down and cannot rise.

Psalms 59:12-13
12 On account of the sin of their mouth and the word of their lips,
Let them even be caught in their pride,
And on account of curses and lies which they utter.
13 Destroy them in wrath, destroy them that they may be no more;
That men may know that God rules in Jacob
To the ends of the earth. Selah.

Psalms 75:4-5
4 I said to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’
And to the wicked, ‘Do not raise up the horn;
5 Do not raise up your horn on high,
Nor speak with insolent pride.’”

Proverbs 8:13
13 The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil;
Pride and arrogance and the evil way
And the mouth of perverted words, I hate.

Proverbs 14:3
3 In the mouth of the ignorant fool is a rod of lofty pride,
But the lips of the wise will keep them.

Proverbs 16:17-19
17 The highway of the upright is to turn away from evil;
He who guards his way keeps his soul.
18 Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before stumbling.
19 It is better to be humble in spirit with the lowly
Than to divide the spoil with the proud.

Proverbs 29:23
23 A man’s lofty pride will bring him low,
But a lowly spirit will take hold of glory.

Proverbs 15:25
25 Yahweh will tear down the house of the proud,
But He will cause the boundary of the widow to stand.

Isaiah 13:9-11
9 Behold, the day of Yahweh is coming,
Cruel, with fury and burning anger,
To make the land a desolation;
And He will exterminate its sinners from it.
10 For the stars of heaven and their constellations
Will not flash forth their light;
The sun will be dark when it rises
And the moon will not shed its light.
11 Thus I will punish the world for its evil
And the wicked for their iniquity;
I will also put an end to the pride of the arrogant
And bring low the lofty pride of the ruthless.

Mark 7:20-23
20 And He was saying, “That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, sexual immoralities, thefts, murders, adulteries, 22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness. 23 All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man.”

1 John 2:15-17
15 Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and also its lusts, but the one who does the will of God abides forever.

Luke 1:49-51
49 For the Mighty One has done great things for me,
And holy is His name.
50 AND HIS MERCY IS UPON GENERATION AFTER GENERATION
TOWARD THOSE WHO FEAR HIM.
51 He has done a mighty deed with His arm;
He has scattered those who were proud in the thoughts of their heart.

This is by no means an extensive list of scriptures on the topics of pride, and humility. It is a good representation of the topics. If we take pride in anything except what God has accomplished, we are sinning. He is our provision. We live because He upholds us by the power of His word. He gets all of the glory. When we are proud of something outside of God, we are robbing God of His glory, and attributing it to ourselves. In other words, we are taking something that should be attributed to God, the Creator, and just Judge, and attributing it to ourselves. We are fallen, sinful, finite, creatures. This is a demonstration of what is said in Romans Chapter 1. We are there now. We are under God’s just judgment. We need individual, and national, repentance of sin. We need to all turn from our sins, and trust solely in the Jesus, and His justifying work on the cross.

Romans 1:18-32
God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, both His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. 21 For even though they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the likeness of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. 25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions; for their females exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the males abandoned the natural function of the female and burned in their desire toward one another, males with males committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to an unfit mind, to do those things which are not proper, 29 having been filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, violent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; 32 and although they know the righteous requirement of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.
