So the pride of man will be brought low, and the loftiness of men will be humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the arrogance of men shall be brought low; and Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day.And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.

Yeah, if I were to guess, guess based upon everything I read of scripture of what bothers him the most, I would say pride. not sure just again based upon my reading of scripture it just seems like he hates it and there's a verse I've been meditating on a lot since we read Isaiah it was Isaiah 57 verse 15 it says this for thus says the one who is high and lifted up who inhabits eternity whose name is holy. I dwell in the high and holy place and also with him who is of contrite and lowly spirit to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite. Let me read that verse again. Listen to the words of this. For thus says the one who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is holy. I dwell in the high and holy place and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite. …
… The haughtiness of man shall be humbled. The lofty pride of men shall be brought low. And the Lord alone will be exalted in that day. And the idols shall utterly pass away. And the people shall enter the caves of the rocks and the holes of the ground from before the terror of the Lord, from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to terrify the earth. Gosh, that's similar to Revelation 6. And in Revelation 6, it says in verse 15, the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful and everyone slave and free hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains calling to the mountains and rocks fall on us hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne and from the wrath of the lamb for the great day of their wrath has come and who can stand look God is is constantly talking about this day of wrath this day of judgment and in chapter 5, he says, look, what more can I do for my people? And he describes it like a vineyard. He goes, man, I'm caring for it. I'm pulling the weeds. I'm moving the rocks. I'm watering, fertilizing, and there's nothing there. In verse 4, he says, what more was there to do for my vineyard that I have not done in it? But again, in verse 5, he says, man, 15, Man is humbled and each one is brought low and the eyes of the haughty are brought low. …
"And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day." Isaiah 2:17. THIS is the case when God visits a nation with terrible judgments. When the Jews were led away captive into Babylon, the great men of the land were bound in chains and treated as common slaves. And as they marched across the weary wilderness, the iron entered into their souls. Then was the loftiness of their spirit bowed down and the haughtiness of the king and the princes, who laughed at the Prophet, was laid low. So also when God is pleased to send famine upon a land, then again man has to humble himself. It is not easy to say, "I am my own. Who is Lord over me?" when the barn is empty and when the wine vats no longer burst with new wine. Famine is a wondrous leveler—and when the king of Samaria went through his straitened cities—where women had eaten their own children in the straitness of the siege, I think there was none brought so low as the king—none so humbled as the highest and none so base as the haughtiest! …
