Proverbs 3:7 meaning and explanation
Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
Proverbs 3:7, Berean Standard Bible

Verse 5 already warned against leaning on your own understanding, and here the same idea returns as a warning against being wise in your own eyes, an idiom for self-reliance that leaves God out of the picture.
