. As mentioned here, narcissists tend to stumble a lot.  One reason (of several) they stumble is that they lack good judgment.   Jesus referred to the Pharisees’ lack of perspective and lack of good judgement by saying of them: .

Matthew 23:24

²⁴ You blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!    .

The Pharisees had little or no perspective on the relative importance of things (we see that the Pharisees were narcissists here and here).  Secular literature on narcissism also refers to narcissists’ lack of perspective on the relative importance of things – see here. . Another reason that narcissists lack good judgement is that they are unwilling to receive counsel.  Proverbs is clear about the need for counsel…… .

Proverbs 11:14 – Where there is no guidance the people fall, But in abundance of counselors there is victory

. but narcissists resist going for counsel as that process also opens them up to possible criticism. [Scoffers is one of the Biblical terms for narcissist (see here, here, here)] The scoffer / narcissist’s unwillingness to listen to counsel is itself a lack of good judgment….. resulting in not having the good counsel needed for making wise decisions. * narcissist is a common use colloquial term for what the Bible calls “insolent pride”.  See here.
