Ecclesiastes 2:18-
21 Yea,
I hated all my labour which I had
taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me. ... For there is a man
whose labour [
is] in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he
leave it [
for] his portion. This also [
is] vanity and a great evil.
Ecclesiastes 6:2 A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour,
so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth,
yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof,
but a stranger eateth it: this [
is]
vanity, and it [
is] an evil disease.

turn mine hand against Ekron:
and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord GOD.
Isaiah 2:12-
17 For
the day of the LORD of hosts [
shall be]
upon every [
one that is] proud and lofty, and upon every [
one that is] lifted up; and he shall be brought low: ... And
the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
Isaiah 23:9 The LORD of hosts hath purposed it,
to stain the pride of all glory, [
and] to
bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.
Isaiah 28:1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the
drunkards of Ephraim,
whose glorious beauty [
is] a fading flower, which [
are] on the head of the fat valleys of them that are
overcome with wine!
Daniel 4:37 Now
I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour
the King of heaven,
all whose works [
are] truth, and his ways judgment: and
those that walk in pride he is able to abase.
Zephaniah 2:10 This shall they have
for their pride, because they have reproached
and magnified [
themselves] against the people of the LORD of hosts.
1 Peter 5:5 Likewise,
ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea,
all [
of you] be subject one to another, and
be clothed with humility: for
God resisteth the proud, and
giveth grace to the humble.
