Proverbs 16:18. Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Ezekiel 16:48-50. As I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.
Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.
Pharaoh probably had much pride and was stubborn to let people suffer through all the plagues before letting the Israelites go. Of course God hardened his heart and we don't really know how stubborn he would have been otherwise.
Joseph's brothers also come to mind- they seemed prideful, jealous, and did some horrible things, then they were later humbled.
The prodigal son might have been prideful initially as he went into the world.
I'm sure there's more and better examples, but these initially come to mind. God bless.
