What are the consequences of pride according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Pride leads to division, destruction, and separation from God’s grace.

The consequences of pride are severe according to the Bible. Pride brings about division, as seen in Proverbs 13:10, which states that pride causes contention among people. It leads to destruction, echoed in Proverbs 16:18, 'Pride goeth before destruction.' Ultimately, pride separates us from God's grace and favor, as James 4:6 emphasizes. This reality serves as a solemn reminder that as believers, we must continually seek to be humble to avoid the detrimental effects of pride.
