Pride results in an expectation of special treatment and privileges.
Shame and embarrassment result when these things do not occur
and the proud person is treated as common. The humble person
expects nothing and does not believe he is deserving of special
treatment or privileges. God honors the humble by lavishing them
with wisdom. Others will then show them with respect.
"When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes
wisdom." (NIV)
"When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom." (KJV)
