SCRIPTURE
"In the mouth of the foolish is a rod for [his] pride; But the lips of the wise shall preserve them." — Proverbs 14:3 (ASV)
Pride grows from that root of bitterness which is in the heart. The root must be plucked up, or we cannot conquer this branch. The prudent words of wise men get them out of difficulties.
