v. 2 | pride vs. humility
The opposite of honor comes for those who allow pride to creep in. Not even being full of pride but simply when it comes.

Integrity guides in the right way.
Crookedness still guides but toward destruction.
v. 4 | pursuit of righteousness first.
Pointing back to verse one. You can’t take it with you. The day of wrath, all of that money won’t do you any good. But wrath is avoided if a person pursues righteousness.
