Proverbs 11:2 begins with another warning that pride puts us on the path to disgrace (see last week’s verse for more on pride). The second half of the verse, however, points out one of the keys to attaining Godly wisdom: humility. Throughout the book of Proverbs we are encouraged by Solomon, who “was wiser than all men” (1 Kings 4:31), to aggressively pursue wisdom. Here we are reminded that we must have humble (and teachable) hearts and minds in that pursuit.
