What does the Bible say about pride and anger?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that pride leads to downfall and that anger stirs up strife, reflecting our natural attitude against God.

Proverbs 29:22 and 23 highlight the destructive nature of pride and anger. An angry man stirs up strife, and pride brings low the humble in spirit. The root of all this animosity is our innate tendency as descendants of Adam to rebel against God, which Paul elaborates in Ephesians 2:3, describing us as children of wrath by nature. Such anger and pride are remnants of our old selves, demonstrating enmity toward God, which requires constant divine cleansing due to our sinful condition.
