The Children's Bible
What It Means To Be Modest

      Do not boast what you will do to-morrow,
      For you know not what a day may bring forth.
      Do you see a man wise in his own opinion?
      There is more hope for a fool than for him!
      
      Pride goes before destruction,
      And a haughty spirit before a fall.
      When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
      But with the modest is wisdom.
      
      It is not good to eat much honey;
      But to seek the glory of others is glorious.
      Let another man praise you, not your own mouth;
      Some other, and not your own lips.
