Sins

"These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren."(Proverbs 6:16-19)

Pride:
"In his pride the wicked does not seek Him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God." (Psalm 10:4)

"Blessed is that man that makes the Lord his trust, and looks not to the proud, nor to those that turn aside to lies." (Psalm 40:4)

"Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble."(1 Peter 5:5)

"Talk no more exceeding proudly, nor let arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a
God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed." (I Samuel 2:3)

"For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith."(Romans 12:3)

Envy/invidiousness:
"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's."(Exodus 20:17)

"Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways."(Proverbs 3:31)

"Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them."(Proverbs 24:1)

Lust:
"But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."(1 Timothy 6:9-10)
