SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:12
¶ Antes del quebrantamiento se eleva el corazón del hombre, y antes de la honra es el abatimiento.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 18:12
Verse 12. Before destruction ] See on chap. xi. 2; xvi. 18.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. Before destruction the heart of man is haughty , etc.] Lifted up with his riches. Rich men are apt to be highminded, and therefore are to be charged and cautioned against it; they are apt to look above their poor neighbours, and with contempt upon them; and very often this haughtiness of theirs is a presage of their ruin and destruction: and those haughty airs are put on from the pride of their hearts, when a “breach” is near, as the word signifies, or when they are ready to break; however, their haughty spirits are, sooner or later, humbled by one distressing providence or another; (see Proverbs 16:18); and before honour [is] humility ; (see Gill on “ Proverbs 15:33”).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12 - After the heart has been lifted up with pride, a fall comes. But honou shall be the reward of humility.
