The actual rendition of Proverbs 16:18 is more foreboding:
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
The Hebrew word translated “destruction” here literally means to be broken in pieces.

haughty spirit

**********
That’s a good euphemism for arrogance. I think he’s going to have a meltdown before long. Something is going to go against him and set him off big time. He is very petulant and intolerant of criticism. People like that don’t deal with setbacks very well. Just sayin...
