Jacob 2:13

And the hand of providence hath smiled upon you most pleasingly,

that you have obtained many riches;

and because some of you have obtained more abundantly

than that of your brethren

ye are lifted up in the pride of your hearts, and wear stiff necks and high heads

because of the costliness of your apparel,

and persecute your brethren

because ye suppose that ye are better than they.

Jacob 2:16

O that he would rid you from this iniquity and abomination.

And, O that ye would listen unto the word of his commands,

and let not this pride of your hearts destroy your souls!

Jacob 2:20

And now, my brethren, I have spoken unto you concerning pride;

and those of you which have afflicted your neighbor, and persecuted him

because ye were proud in your hearts, of the things which God hath given you,

what say ye of it?

Jacob 2:22

And now I make an end of speaking unto you concerning this pride.

And were it not that I must speak unto you concerning a grosser crime,

my heart would rejoice exceedingly because of you.
