When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.
– Proverbs 11:2-3

Proverbs 11:2 – Pride leads to shame, perhaps because arrogance blinds people to their mistakes or causes them to act foolishly. In contrast, humility (βthe lowlyβ) is linked with wisdom, implying that those who acknowledge their limitations and approach life with openness are more likely to gain understanding. Proverbs 11:3 – focuses on integrity as a guiding force for the upright. Those who are honest and morally sound will find their way forward with clarity. But for those who engage in deceit or wrongdoing, their own corruption will ultimately lead to their downfall. These two verses encourage humility, wisdom, and integrity while warning against pride and dishonesty.
