Proverbs 26-27 humility & wisdom

Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than of him. - Proverbs 26:12

The book of Proverbs has a lot to say about humility and wisdom - they go hand in hand.
When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the 
humble is wisdom.  -Proverbs 11:2
By pride comes nothing but strife,
but with the well-advised is wisdom.  -Proverbs 13:10 NKJV
By the mouth of a fool comes a rod for his back,
but the lips of the wise will preserve them.   -Proverbs 14:3
The fear of the LORD is instruction in wisdom,
and humility comes before honor.  -Proverbs 15:33

Pride goes before destruction,
and a haughty spirit before a fall.  -Proverbs 16:18
I love how practical Proverbs is for the Christian's life.  Pride vs humility, foolishness vs. wisdom - It's our choice which path we follow.
