Pride & The Fall Blues | Proverbs 16

** King Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, penned these proverbs under divine inspiration. "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall" (Proverbs 16:18 WEB) is a timeless warning. No matter how high a man climbs, if pride leads the way, the fall is certain.

This song is more than music—it's a message. A call to humility, righteousness, and trust in the Lord’s direction.

** Proverbs 16 – World English Bible (WEB)

The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from Yahweh.
All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes, but Yahweh weighs the motives.
Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed.
Yahweh has made everything for its own end—yes, even the wicked for the day of evil.
Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to Yahweh; they shall certainly not be unpunished.
By mercy and truth iniquity is atoned for. By the fear of Yahweh men depart from evil.
When a man’s ways please Yahweh, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Better is a little with righteousness, than great revenues with injustice.
A man’s heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps.
Inspired judgments are on the lips of the king. He shall not betray his mouth.
Honest balances and scales are Yahweh’s. All the weights in the bag are his work.
It is an abomination for kings to do wrong, for the throne is established by righteousness.
Righteous lips are the delight of kings. They value one who speaks the truth.
The king’s wrath is a messenger of death, but a wise man will pacify it.
In the light of the king’s face is life. His favor is like a cloud of the spring rain.
How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! Yes, to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.
The highway of the upright is to depart from evil. He who keeps his way preserves his soul.
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor, than to divide the plunder with the proud.
He who heeds the word finds prosperity. Whoever trusts in Yahweh is blessed.
The wise in heart shall be called prudent. Pleasantness of the lips promotes instruction.
Understanding is a fountain of life to one who has it, but the punishment of fools is their folly.
The heart of the wise instructs his mouth, and adds learning to his lips.
Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and health to the bones.

Lyrics – Pride & The Fall Blues | Proverbs 16

Verse 1

I made my plans, thought I had control,
But the Lord weighed the motives deep in my soul.
I walked so tall, thought I'd never lose,
But the steps of a man ain't his to choose.
Chorus

Pride goes before destruction,
A haughty spirit before the fall.
You can climb that mountain,
But the higher you go, the harder you fall.
Verse 2

Better a little with the righteous hand,
Than stolen silver in a wicked man’s land.
The wise find peace, the fools find pain,
What seems so right might lead to the grave.

Verse 3

A whisperer breaks the strongest bond,
A violent man pulls the weak along.
A honeyed tongue might soothe the soul,
But truth runs deeper than a bag of gold.
Bridge

The gray-haired man, he's got a crown,
Righteous steps won’t let him down.
The slow to anger, he wins the fight,
Greater than armies, he walks in light.
Chorus

Pride goes before destruction,
A haughty spirit before the fall.
You can climb that mountain,
But the higher you go, the harder you fall.
Outro

The lot is cast, but the Lord decides,
No man can outrun where wisdom abides.
So I bow my head, let my soul be still,
‘Cause the Lord’s got the answer, He always will.
