DEUT363 Our Rabbis taught (Sotah 4b): "Everyone who is haughty of spirit is as one who serves idols, as it is written in one place (Mishlei 16:5): 'The abomination of Hashem are all who are proud of heart,' and in another [this verse]:' And do not bring an abomination into your house.'" There are others who say: "it is as if he has relations with all those were forbidden to him, as it is written (Vayikra 18:27): 'For all of these abominations they did." And there are others who say: "It is as if he erected a provisional altar (bamah)." They say further (Sotah 5a): "All who are haughty of spirit in the end are diminished, as it is written (Iyov 24:24): 'They are exalted a little.'" And he deserves to be uprooted as an asherah [a tree devoted to idol worship], as it is written in one place (Yeshayahu 10:33): "And the haughty of stature shall be uprooted," and in another (Devarim 7:5): "And their asheros shall you uproot." And his dust will not awaken [for the Resurrection]. And the Shechinah wails over him.
