Eve...Midrash Rabbah - Mishlei Chapter 13 Section 3<br /><br />Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: Anyone who is arrogant before His Creator, will not be cleansed from the judgment of Hell. Rabbi Simon said: Anyone who is lowly in spirit, and is concerned in his heart to walk in the ways of the Holy One, he will be guaranteed that the Holy One will prepare his steps. As it is written: "The heart of the human will consider his way and the Lord will prepare his steps."
