Classes of people


Those who are full of vanity, pride and insolence:

Psalms 10:4

In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.

Psalms 73:6

Therefore pride is their necklace; they clothe themselves with violence.

Proverbs 8:13

To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.

Proverbs 16:18

Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.

Daniel 4:37

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble.

1 John 2:16

For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world.

Those who are cruel, greedy and oppressive to the poor:

Proverbs 14:31

He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.

Proverbs 22:16

He who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth and he who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty.

Proverbs 28:3

A ruler who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain that leaves no crops.

James 2:6

But you have insulted the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court?
