I cared for you in the wilderness, in the land of drought. God's goodness is turned into self-sufficiency. Pride considers itself above instruction. This wicked people, who refuse to listen to My words, who walk in the stubbornness of their hearts. Pride stubbornly refuses to be taught the way of God, and makes its own wishes the measure of truth.
Pride is insubordinate.
When the commandments of God are spoken, pride turns away and will not submit. It rejects the right and authority of God to command. Pride takes credit for what God alone does. One of the most vivid illustrations of this is the case of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon. Pride exults in being made much of.
