Commentary on Proverbs 16:18

Theological / Devotional

Pride. Despite the oft-repeated warnings against pride, every generation sees men becoming proud and haughty, only to fall into trouble and disgrace (see v. 19, chs. 11:2; 17:19; 18:12). Those who maintain their pride and position throughout this life will be forced into humble acknowledgment of God in the judgment.
