What does the Bible say about pride and strength?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that pride leads to destruction, and true strength comes from God.

The Bible offers a clear warning about the dangers of pride, exemplified in the life of King Uzziah, who was strong and prosperous until pride led to his downfall (2 Chronicles 26:15). Scripture highlights that our strength should derive from God alone, as seen in 2 Corinthians 12:10, 'For when I am weak, then am I strong.' This understanding emphasizes that reliance on self leads to sin and weakness, while true strength lies in acknowledging our need for God's grace.
