What does it mean to be haughty?

Answered in 1 source

To be haughty means to have an arrogant attitude and an inflated sense of self-importance.

Haughtiness, as described in Proverbs 18:12, refers to an attitude of pride and arrogance that elevates oneself above others and defies God's authority. It is a condition of the heart that leads to a high opinion of one's worthiness and the ability to determine one's fate apart from God's will. This attitude is grounded in the notion of a free will that resists the sovereignty of God, ultimately leading to destruction—a concept echoed throughout Scripture. Thus, haughtiness is not only a rejection of humility but also a direct affront to God's rightful place as the sovereign Creator, resulting in spiritual ruin for those who cling to it.
