“Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!” Isa 5:21
It’s said: Talent is God given, be humble. Fame is man given, be grateful, Conceit is self-given, be careful. The design of this chapter is the prevalent vices that permeated within Judah, and self-conceit being the fifth sin listed. Pointing out those who had developed an inflated, false opinion of their own knowledge and it’s vanity. God tells us there is more hope for a fool than a man wise in his own conceit (Pro 26:12). The first sin we know of in our universe was Lucifer’s self-conceit. One that is self-absorbed only thinks in terms of what makes them feel good, and fail miserably in their relationships; with God included. Point… if you think a post or comment is about you, the truth is it probably isn’t you just see yourself in it. If so, don’t get upset with the mirror, change the reflection instead.
Conceit is self-proclaiming, if it’s worth proclaiming let God or man do it for you (Pro 27:2).
