Scripture: Proverbs 16:18-19
"Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling. It is better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with the proud."

High-stakes rhetoric between Iran and the U.S.—dragging Israel’s security into the equation—echoes a prophetic pattern where tension rises as pride hardens.
