Proud Humbled
In a humbled state you are open to consider others.
He sees his previous way of life lead him to destruction. Now that he has come to a humbled state with no relationships and poor health, he turns to God.
Turning to God, he has more life (as he dies) than he ever did in good health.
God will have mercy on the unrighteous and wicked if they seek and turn to God.
But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.
James 4:6
It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of everyone; the living should take this to heart.
Ecclesiastes 7:2
Seek the Lord while he may be found;
call on him while he is near.
Let the wicked forsake their ways
and the unrighteous their thoughts.
Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them,
and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
Isaiah 55:6-7
