Whose Pride Is Puffed Up - Not Blessed

Matthew 5:3
“ Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Not blessed are those haughty in spirit, whose pride is puffed up, for theirs is not the kingdom of heaven.

Psalms 41:1-2
O Lord, Be Gracious to Me
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
Blessed is the one who considers the poor!
In the day of trouble the Lord delivers him;
the Lord protects him and keeps him alive;
he is called blessed in the land;
you do not give him up to the will of his enemies.

Psalms 84:12
O Lord of hosts,
blessed is the one who trusts in you!

2 Chronicles 33:12-13
And when he was in distress, he entreated the favor of the Lord his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. He prayed to him, and God was moved by his entreaty and heard his plea and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord was God.

Psalms 34:18
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted
and saves the crushed in spirit.
