It is a Pre-exile Book. WISE' Pride blocks contending for the truth. Closed minds are a sign of pride and this pride comes from an unyielding personality, not just a difference of an opinion on a certain subject. Pride is a trap that sows discord, breeds impatience, rivalry, conceit and will not forgive but will seek revenge. Pride can be arrogance, people who want always to have their own way selfishly and shows proof of their ignorance.
Pride leads to other avenues of sin and evil and wickedness.
It can cause spiritual blindness, hard heartedness, contempt for others and always ends in disaster. Pride is viewed as evil, it involves pretending a deception and there are many warnings against such arrogance and delusions throughout The Bible. Humbleness is not weakness, but an attitude of right priorities, of one's status before God. A person must be humble to be renewed and restored by The Holy Spirit. The humble listen to wisdom and instruction.
