God's Unchanging Rule
Commentators agree that this verse reveals a core principle of God's character: He consistently opposes human pride. This pride isn't limited to the rich and powerful but can be found in all people. God's judgment acts to humble this "haughtiness" by removing the very things people rely on, whether wealth, power, or status. As Charles Spurgeon notes, it is a rule from which God never deviates.
