Didn’t Jesus Himself say its easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man getting into heaven?
It is also said that God humbles the proud.
Yes, indeed.
The passage is in Matthew 19:24
Here is an explanation in Dr. John MacArthur’s commentary:
“Jesus is underscoring the impossibility of anyone’s being saved by merit. Since wealth was deemed proof of God’s approval and those who had it could give more alms, it was commonly thought that rich people were the most likely candidates for heaven. Jesus destroyed that notion and, along with it, the notion that anyone can merit enough divine favor to gain entrance into heaven.”
