ייִדישער מחשבֿה אויף משלי 22:4

In the original edition of this work, the author devotes much space to refuting various interpretations by the classic commentators.

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).
