How does God break the pride of man according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

God breaks the pride of man through His providential works, showing that true glory belongs to Him alone.

The theme of God breaking the pride of man is prevalent throughout scripture. In Isaiah 23, it is noted that God's purpose is to stain the pride of all glory, signifying that He actively humbles the lofty and powerful. This theme unfolds in various narratives where God uses unexpected instruments and events to achieve His purposes. For instance, through trials and chastisements, He exposes the futility of human pride and self-sufficiency, leading individuals back to Him in repentance. The ultimate aim is that all flesh must acknowledge God's sovereignty and grace, leaving no room for boasting. God's actions in history serve to demonstrate His authority over prideful hearts.
