Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.''<ref>Proverbs 3:507.</ref> Learning on your own understanding, and being wise in your own eyes, is pride. Proverbs tells us ''The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom''<ref>Proverbs 9:10a.</ref> and ''Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding,''<ref>Proverbs 4:7.</ref> that is to say, not our own wisdom and understanding, which is pride.
