But he bestows a greater grace; therefore, it says: God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6). The greater you are, the more you must humble yourself; so you will find favor in the sight of the Lord (Sirach 3:18). For the Lord of all shows no partiality, nor does he fear greatness, because he himself made the great as well as the small, and he provides for all alike (Wisdom 6:7). He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way (Psalm 25:9).
