LEV1142 You possess many different qualities ... two... are pride and humility. Pride and haughtiness are in place when meeting those who deny God and those who turn away from Him. Do not be humble or meek before them, lest you appear to justify them and incline toward their corrupt views; rather, unleashed pride and haughtiness, to indicate your opposition to their views and your displeasure with them, as you learn from the story of Mordechai and Haman. Humility is in place when you meet a person who is pious and pure, God-fearing, learned in His Torah, and devoted in His service; or [when meeting] a person who has shown you favor and kindness, to whom you are indebted and must make a repayment-- and how much more so if his favors [toward you] are so numerous and great that you cannot make him a return for them; or when accepting upon yourself God's judgment, as it is written “If then their uncircumcised heart is humbled and they accept their punishment” (Vayikra 26:41).
