Proverbs 16:5

Abhomynacioun of the Lord is ech proude man; yhe, thouy the hond is to the hond, he schal not be innocent. The bigynnyng of good weie is to do riytwisnesse; forsothe it is more acceptable at God, than to offre sacrifices.

Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
