Quotation sobre II Crónicas 17:6
וַיִּגְבַּ֥הּ לִבּ֖וֹ בְּדַרְכֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וְע֗וֹד הֵסִ֛יר אֶת־הַבָּמ֥וֹת וְאֶת־הָאֲשֵׁרִ֖ים מִיהוּדָֽה׃ (פ)
Y animóse su corazón en los caminos de SEÑOR, y quitó los altos y los bosques de Judá.
Duties of the Heart
This kind of arrogance (aggrandizing) is not detrimental to submission and does not repel it. The verse says of Yehoshafat "And his heart was uplifted in the ways of the L-ord" (Divrei Hayamim II 17:6), just the opposite - such pride helps humility and increases his submission as written "In the wake of humility comes fear of the L-ord, riches, honor, and life" (Mishlei 22:4).
