Anytime a noun (here meek) implying to a particular group or thing, articles like 'a', 'an', 'the' should be used.

Because contrast is always followed by prefix "the".
For example: The good and the bad. The rich and the poor.

Why you are using "the" before meek and the humble. It is consonants but why you use that Definite article here.

Meekness, humbleness are particular to the one concerned and hence, should be addressed with the article "the".
