People who are overconfident and arrogant are likely to fail as a result of pride.This saying is adapted from the biblical book of Proverbs{16:18}.
The opposite of pride is humidity which leads to honor.To choose pride therefore means to set oneself up for a fall.
Pride in the content of the Verses refers to an arrogant attitude that manifest itself as independence from God and contrasts strikingly with humility.Terms like destruction,disaster,ruin and downfall are a punishment and discipline meted out to the proud in order to humble them and correct them of their waywardness but it actually do end in humiliation.
