Verse 18. Pride goeth before destruction, and an high minde before the fall.
Pride goeth before destruction, &c.] That commonly cometh to pass, that before any great plague befall the wicked, they grow insolent and presumptuous, setting forth themselves ambitiously, and seeking vain glory, in words and deeds, in gestures or countenance: or at least their hearts ⟨p. 82⟩are lifted up, as it is testified in the latter clause. And where either stately or stubborn behaviour, or an haughty mind do go before, there some notable judgement of God will certainly follow after, unless humiliation and repentance come between. See Chap. 11. verse 2.
