Airicky 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2005 Proverbs 16:18 "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall." (King James Version) Is there a similar verse in the Vedas? Also, is this verse where the saying "Pride goeth before the fall." originated from? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Airicky 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2005 I have literally heard this saying all my 50 odd years and never really thought much about it. Saw the verse today in some reading I was doing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
