God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble. James 4/6

..be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him,because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. 1 Peter 5/5
Though the Lord is exalted, he looks kindly on the lowly.. Psalm 138/6
