Proverbs 11:2
Compare all
1 aDishonest1 scales are an abomination to the Lord,
But a1 just weight is His delight. 
2 When pride comes, then comes ashame;
But with the humble is wisdom. 
3 The integrity of the upright will guide athem,
But the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them. 
4 aRiches do not profit in the day of wrath,
But brighteousness delivers from death. 
5 The righteousness of the blameless will1 direct his way aright,
But the wicked will fall by his own awickedness. 
6 The righteousness of the upright will deliver them,
But the unfaithful will be caught by their lust.

Proverbs 11:2

When pride cometh - The proud man thinks much more of himself than any other can do; and, expecting to be treated according to his own supposed worth, which treatment he seldom meets with, he is repeatedly mortified, ashamed, confounded, and rendered indignant.

With the lowly - tsenuim , , the humble, the modest, as opposed to the proud, referred to in the first clause. The humble man looks for nothing but justice; has the meanest opinion of himself; expects nothing in the way of commendation or praise; and can never be disappointed but in receiving praise, which he neither expects nor desires.
