"Look on these
works, you mighty, despair!" said pride before crumbling to dust.
Destruction is certain
for arrogance thick, that swells up and threatens to bust.
Destruction is sure and
death marks the cure,
you don't know that
Satan's your guide!
"I am the one who
deserves the applause!" said the woman who stood straight and tall.
It's clear that her
thoughts are far from God and someday she will have a great fall.
Beware, haughty one,
who beams like the sun!
Your love of the world
will soon come unfurled,
watch your mansions on
Earth come undone!
Self-righteous folks
are easy to spot, for they point to the things that they do.
They don't even think
to give God the praise; ah, but if they only knew.
Without God they'd
never exist to be clever,
but this sensual place
makes them blind to God's Grace
which sustains their
smallest endeavor.
There is only one thing
to be proud about, only one thing to which you can boast
and that's in the Lord
for Everything, for He is the King of all hosts.
Until you are humble,
you're bound to just stumble.
Until God gets the
credit, you never will get it.

2 For
people will be lovers
of self, lovers of money,
proud, arrogant,
abusive, disobedient to their parents,
ungrateful, unholy,
3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without
self-control,
brutal, not loving good,
4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit,
lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power.
Avoid such people.
2 Timothy 3:2-5
