Pride Comes Before The Fall
Proverbs 16:18 says “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall” (NIV). The lesson of this proverb is the next lesson we can learn from Mordecai and Haman. As pointed out in the last section, Haman boasted about all that he had going for him which showed that he was prideful. To his unpleasant surprise, that pride caused him to have to honor Mordecai, the person he despised.
