“When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.”
Pride and shame: When pride comes, then comes shame, but with humility comes wisdom. Pride (ga'avah) inevitably precedes shame (qalon). Humility (anavah) accompanies wisdom. This establishes a pattern: pride leads to public humiliation; humility leads to understanding. The young person learns that pride sets one up for downfall while humility opens the way to growth.
