Jeremiah 12:13

They, the people of Judah, have sown wheat, they have undertaken many things in the pride of their hearts, but shall reap thorns, the very opposite of what they expected; they have put themselves to pain, exhausting their strength and almost tormenting themselves in the endeavor to gain their proud ends, but shall not profit, not getting the results which they had anticipated; and they shall be ashamed of your revenues, in the small amounts which they actually produced, because of the fierce anger of the Lord, who would not permit their proud plans to mature. God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
