How do we know God hates pride?

Answered in 2 sources

Proverbs 6:16-19 provides a clear list of things God hates, which begins with a proud look, confirming His strong stance against pride.

We understand that God hates pride primarily through scripture, particularly in Proverbs 6:16-19, where the very first item listed among the things the Lord detests is a proud look. This illustrates not only the severity with which God regards pride but also serves as a warning for believers to recognize their own tendencies towards pride. Pride disrupts our relationship with God and with others, and the biblical teaching consistently associates it with serious consequences. The more we align ourselves with the truth of scripture, the clearer it becomes that God’s hatred of pride is not arbitrary but rather rooted in His love for humility and peace among His people.
