SAYINGS NOT IN BIBLE "Pride Comes Before the Fall"


I often get questions by people asking me to locate various sayings in the Bible which do not exist. Many sayings have developed throughout the years by a variety of means. Scripture supports the purposes of some of the sayings while contradicting others.


Pride comes before the fall It is uncertain when or why Proverbs 16:18 was altered for popular consumption, but the original rendition states that pride ends in destruction.

Proverbs 16:18
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
