John Trapp on Proverbs 29:23

Verſ. 23. A mans pride ſhall bring him low] For it ſets God againſt him, and Angels, and men, not good men onely, but bad men too, and thoſe that are as proud as themſelves. For whereas one drunkard loves another, and one thief another, &c. one proud perſon cannot endure another, but ſeeks to undermine him, that he alone may bear the bell, carry the commendation, the praiſe and promotion. See chap. 11.12. and 15.33. and 18.12.
