Holy Scripture
Proverbs 29:21
A church father on this verse
“Formed, surrounded and coddled by delicacies and pleasures since its infancy, Israel, in spite of the [prefigured] images of the cross, "grew fat, became gross and recalcitrant," so that, finally, captivity imprisoned it among the Gentiles. "The one who is pampered in his infancy will be handed over to servitude."”

In context
19A stubborn servant will not be reproved by words: For even if he understand, still he will not obey.
20If thou see a man hasty in his words, Know that the fool has hope rather than he.
— Proverbs 29:21 —
22A furious man stirs up strife, And a passionate man digs up sin.
23Pride brings a man low, But the Lord upholds the humble minded with honor.
