Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

He that trusts in his own heart is a fool: but whosoever walks wisely, he shall be delivered.

A man's pride shall bring him low: but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.

Therefore let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.

But Peter stood at the door outside. Then went out that other disciple, who was known unto the high priest, and spoke unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.

Then said the girl that kept the door unto Peter, Are not you also one of this man's disciples? He said, I am not.

And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Are not you also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.

Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crowed.

Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto you, That this night, before the cock crows, you shall deny me three times.

Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard: and a maidservant came unto him, saying, You also were with Jesus of Galilee.

And when he was gone out into the porch, another maidservant saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.

And after awhile came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely you also are one of them; for your speech betrays you.

And Peter remembered the words of Jesus, who said unto him, Before the cock crows, you shall deny me three times. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto you, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crows twice, you shall deny me three times.

And as Peter was below in the courtyard, there came one of the maidservants of the high priest:

But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what you say. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crowed.

And he denied it again. And after a little, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely you are one of them: for you are a Galilean, and your speech agrees with it.

And the second time the cock crowed. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crows twice, you shall deny me three times. And when he thought on this, he wept.

And he said, I tell you, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before you shall three times deny that you know me.

But a certain maidservant beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.

And after a little while another saw him, and said, you are also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.

And Peter said, Man, I know not what you say. And immediately, while he yet spoke, the cock crowed.

And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
