God explicitly states His hatred for pride in Proverbs 6:16-19, where a proud look is listed first among the sins He detests.
Pride is illustrated in the Bible as the root of many sins, and Proverbs 6:16-19 specifically mentions a proud look as the first of the seven things that God hates. This emphasizes the seriousness of pride in God's eyes, as it can lead to other sins and ultimately to destruction. The warning against pride is echoed in James 4:6, which states, 'God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.' Pride signifies an exaltation of oneself that denies God’s sovereignty, leading individuals away from true humility and faith. God’s disdain for pride thus cautions us to examine our hearts regularly and to recognize our dependence on Him.
