Pride Goeth Before The Fall

This idiom is an adaptation from a well known source, The King James Version (KJV) of The Bible.

What this saying means is that people who are over-confident or arrogant are most likely to fall from.social grace.

BUT, because this saying is adapted from the Proverbs 16: 18-19, here is the entire correct version of this particular biblical scripture:

Quote:

"VERSE 18: Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. VERSE 19: Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud." --- Proverbs 16: 18-19.

I can think of many people over my life time, people of celebrity status or just every day ordinary people, who've been power hungry, arrogant, mean-hearted or mean-spirited, and so over-confident, that you hear their pride like nails screeching across a chalkboard. These are the types of troubled personalities that this proverb describes.
