SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:17

Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 17-28 - Never was a proud prince more thoroughly mortified than Amaziah by Joash king of Israel. A man's pride will bring him low, Pr 29:23; i goes before his destruction, and deservedly brings it on. He tha exalteth himself shall be abased. He that goes forth hastily to strive will not know what he shall do in the end thereof, when his neighbou has put him to shame, Pr 25:8. And what are we when we offer to establish our own righteousness, or presume to justify ourselves befor the Most High God, but despicable thistles, that fancy themselve stately cedars? And are not various temptations, is not ever corruption, a wild beast of the desert, which will trample on the wretched boaster, and tread his haughty pretensions to the dust? man's pride shall bring him low; his ruin may be dated from his turnin from the Lord __________________________________________________________________
