Faced with God's holiness, Isaiah debases self, not exalts self. Humility before honor. Pride, i.e., self-esteem, only lowers man, while humility gains honor. Haughty eyes, i.e., a proud look, listed along with seven other sins that are detestable to the Lord. The Lord hates pride.
Pride breeds quarrels.
More hope for a fool than a man with high self-esteem, i.e., a man wise in his own eyes. Those with good self-esteem are trusting in themselves, and therefore, are fools. The Lord will pay back the proud, in full. The Lord saves the humble, but brings low the proud.
