Proverbs29:23
23 A mans pride shall bring him low : but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit .
Because both God and Man conspire against him and abhor him.
Or, as others render it, without any difference in the sense, the humble in Spirit shall hold their honour, shall be honoured by God and men. Thus honour, like a shadow, flees from them that pursue it, and follows them who flee from it.
