Proverbs 11:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

2 When pride comes, disgrace comes;
    but with the humble is wisdom.[a]
3 The honesty of the upright guides them;
    the faithless are ruined by their duplicity.
4 Wealth is useless on a day of wrath,[b](A)
    but justice saves from death.

Footnotes

  1. 11:2 Disgrace is the very opposite of what the proud so ardently want. Those who do not demand their due receive wisdom.
  2. 11:4 Cf. note on 10:2. A day of wrath is an unforeseen disaster (even death). Only one’s relationship to God, which makes one righteous, is of any help on such a day.
