Talmud su Proverbi 16:5

BARAITHA.¹³⁵Cf. DER XI, p. 565. The reading in the Baraitha must have been originally ‘if his shoe fell off and he went out’. Hence the point of the question in the Gemara: ‘What is he to do?’ His haughtiness is displayed in his desire to be different from others. If he loosened his shoe and went out into the street he is regarded as haughty.
GEMARA. What is he to do? This is what it means to say: If he put on¹³⁶Reading with H na‘al; V has nafal, ‘fell off’. his shoe when he went out into the street he is regarded as haughty. Raba said: It is forbidden to bring a haughty man into one’s house; for the Rabbis said:¹³⁷Soṭah 4b (Sonc. ed., p. 16). Any man in whom is haughtiness of spirit will in the end stumble through an [unfaithful] married woman, as it is stated, Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord.¹³⁸Prov. 16, 5. Even if he be learned in the Torah like Moses our teacher, he will not be free from the judgment of Gehinnom. As for everyone who is lowly of spirit, the Holy One, blessed be He, will save him from [evil] visitations that come upon the world; as it is stated, For thus saith the High and Lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones¹³⁹Isa. 57, 15. [55b].

Anyone who goes into the street with his shoes unlaced is haughty of spirit. [He who walks] with his sanṭer³¹A kind of cloak. hanging side-ways,³²Over his shoulder. or his cap turned backwards, or [sits] crosslegged, or holds in his hand the straps of the tefillin and puts them back while walking in the street belongs to the haughty of spirit. Every man in whom there is haughtiness of spirit is as though he worships idols,³³So GRA. as it states, Thou shalt not bring an abomination into thine house,³⁴Deut. 7, 26, the reference being to an idolatrous image. and it states elsewhere, Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord:³⁵Prov. 16, 5. the word abomination is written in the one connection and also in the other—as the abomination mentioned in the one refers to idolatry so the abomination mentioned in the other refers to idolatry.
