23 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
23 Pride brings a person low, but the lowly in spirit gain honor.
23 One's pride will bring him low, but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor.
23 Pride lands you flat on your face; humility prepares you for honors.
23 A man's pride will bring him low, But the humble in spirit will retain honor.
23 Pride ends in humiliation, while humility brings honor.
