Proverbs3:7
7. Be not wise in thine own eyes : fear the LORD and depart from evil.
Be not puffed up with a vain conceit of thine own Wisdom, as if that were sufficient for the conduct of all thine affairs without direction or assistance from God, or without the advice of others.
This he adds because the reverence and dread of the Divine Majesty will make a man, when he compareth himself with God, little and vile in his own eyes. Reverence God's Wisdom, and thou wilt despise thine own.
