What does the Bible say about humility in Proverbs?

Answered in 1 source

Proverbs teaches that true wisdom includes recognizing our own limitations and frailty.

In Proverbs, particularly in Proverbs 30, we see a profound illustration of humility through the words of Agur. He confesses his brutishness and lack of understanding, acknowledging that he has not learned wisdom or the knowledge of the Holy. This reflects a key understanding in Reformed theology: the recognition of human depravity and the need for divine grace. Agur's admission serves as a reminder that, without God's intervention, we are incapable of understanding spiritual truths. This humility is essential for authentic worship and reliance on God's wisdom.
