The word that comes to mind here is
hubris.
"Hubris is the characteristic of excessive confidence or arrogance, which leads a person to believe that they may do no wrong. The
overwhelming pride caused by hubris is often considered a flaw in character. Hubris can cause short-sighted, irrational, or harmful behavior since the person does not stop to examine their behavior or consider the opinions of or effects on others when behaving. Hubris often causes humiliation to whom it is directed. " (Investopedia)
Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an
haughty spirit before a fall. 19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
