Humility
And when
the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to
Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy
them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured
out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. (2 Chronicles 12:7)

the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD came not upon them
in the days of Hezekiah. (2 Chronicles 32:26)

save the humble person. (Job 22:29)

cry of the humble. (Psalms 9:12)
My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be
glad. (Psalms 34:2)
Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly. (Proverbs
3:34)
For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is
Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite
and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart
of the contrite ones. (Isaiah 57:15)
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of
thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
(Micah 6:8)

shall find rest unto your souls. (Matthew 11:29)
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little
children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore
shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom
of heaven. (Matthew 18:3-4)
For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself
shall be exalted. (Luke 14:11)

Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be
subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the
proud, and giveth grace to the humble. (1 Peter 5:5)
