The stubborn and prideful heart want no correction ever. When we are inclined toward God, we are ashamed when we are confronted with sin if in fact what we did was sin.
However, those who are arrogant, only want to view themselves in an elevated position, will rage at any correction or instruction no matter how minor.
Isaiah 2:12 "For the Lord of hosts will have a day of reckoning...
Against everyone who is proud and lofty And against everyone who is lifted up, That he may be abased."
James 4:10 "10 "Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you."
Jeremiah 9:23 "23 "Thus says the Lord, “Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches;"
Proverbs 8:13 "13 “The fear of the Lord is to hate evil;
Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverted mouth, I hate."
Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes, then comes dishonor,
But with the humble is wisdom."
