It is the beginning of pride, when a man's heart departs from the Lord, his creator. This is the beginning of all sin; therefore, the Lord has brought calamities on the proud and overthrown them utterly. The Lord cast down the thrones of hard-hearted rulers and proud heathens, and placed the meek in their stead. God has overthrown the heathens and removed their names from the earth. God has not made the arrogant or the malevolent.
