What does the Bible say about arrogance?

The Bible frequently addresses the issue of arrogance, presenting it as a defining characteristic of those opposed to God. In Psalm 10:2-4, the psalmist illustrates that the 'malo' or wicked man is characterized by arrogance, using it as a tool to oppress the poor and disdain God. Arrogance is rooted in a prideful heart that believes itself to be above others and immune to accountability. This is evident in how individuals like David, despite being a man after God’s own heart, struggled with arrogance that led him to sin. Such attitudes not only defy God's commands but also demonstrate a lack of gratitude for His grace and mercy, positioning oneself as equal to or even greater than God.
