Jeremiah 48:7, 29
7 For because you have trusted in your works and your treasures, You also shall be taken. And Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, His priests and his princes together. 29 “We have heard the pride of Moab (He is exceedingly proud), Of his loftiness and arrogance and pride, And of the haughtiness of his heart.”

Pride comes before a fall. Moab was an arrogant and proud nation that trusted in its own ability and possessions (riches). God took them down, sending armies to conquer and humble them. Do we need humility at sword point, do we trust in what or who we know, confident in ourselves? Or do we put all trust in the God who saves and gives all knowledge and righteousness solely in Christ? A broken and contrite heart He will not despise.
