Uzziah sought God during the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear of God. As long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success.”

‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭26‬:‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

But after Uzziah became powerful, his pride led to his downfall.

‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭26‬:‭16‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Humility is about as close to pride’s opposite as you can find.

Philippians 2:3-4 (NIV) Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

James 4:10 (NIV) Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

Proverbs 22:4 (NIV) Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life.

1 Peter 5:5-6 (NIV) In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, ‘God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.’ Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.

Matthew 23:12 (NIV) For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

Micah 6:8 (NIV) He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

Proverbs 11:2 (NIV) When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.

Pride is at greater risk when you are in high places but not exonerated in low spaces.
