Proverbs 11:2 Verse [[20.11.2|2]]. When _pride cometh_] The proud man thinks much more of himself than any other can do; and, expecting to be treated according to his own supposed worth, which treatment he seldom meets with, he is repeatedly mortified, ashamed, confounded, and rendered indignant. _With the lowly_] _tsenuim_, ταπεινων, the _humble_, the _modest_, as opposed to the _proud_, referred to in the first clause. The humble man looks for nothing but justice; has the meanest opinion of himself; expects nothing in the way of commendation or praise; and can never be disappointed but in receiving praise, which he neither expects nor desires.
