What is the significance of "Lifnei Shever Yigbah Lev Ish"?

Malbim: It already taught "To'avas Hashem Kol Gevah Lev Yad l'Yad Lo Yinakeh" (16:5). I.e. Hashem will punish him immediately. Haughtiness of heart is a sign of breakage to come. An Ashir who considers his wealth to be a tall wall (11), he will be broken.

Why does it say "v'Lifnei Chavod Anavah"?
1.
R. Yonah: This is like it says "u'Shfal Ru'ach Yismoch Kavod" (29:23).
