12 Before a downfall the heart is haughty,

but humility comes before honor.

12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty,

And before honour is humility.

12 Haughtiness goes before destruction;

humility precedes honor.

12 Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty,

And before honor is humility.

12 Proud people will be ruined,

but the humble will be honored.

12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty;

And before honor goeth humility.

12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty; and before honour goeth humility.

12 Before destruction a person’s heart is arrogant, 

but humility comes before honor. 

12 Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud,

but humility comes before honor.

12 Before destruction one’s heart is haughty,

but humility goes before honor.

12 In the presence of destruction, the heart of a man will be haughty,

but in the presence of honor, humble.

12 If a man’s heart is proud, he will be destroyed.

So don’t be proud if you want to be honored.

12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty,

But humility goes before honor.
