Every mountain and hill shall be made low....
Proverbs 29:23
A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
Proverbs 29:23
A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
Jeremiah 49:16
Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the Lord.

Ezekiel 7:10
Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.
Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.
Isaiah 40:4-8
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
[SUP]5 [/SUP]And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
[SUP]7 [/SUP]The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
It sure looks like an allegory.
I always thought that the valleys and the mountain tops referred to our experiences with the Lord. In times of feeling as if you are far away from the Lord and your faith may be waning would be a valley(Humility). In times of feeling close to the Lord and receiving revelation and seeing provision and miracles would be a mountain(Pride).
Prideful people think that they are the cause behind what happens. They think if they do A then B will occur. But this is not the case. The Will of God determines both A and B. The humble know this, probably because they have been humbled by God and His Will.

Insults too? 
Daniel 5:20
But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:

1 John 2:16
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
