What is the perspective of Chapter 12 on the value of intellectual pride versus simple faith?

Chapter 12 strongly advocates for faith over intellectual pride. It warns against those who are "intoxicated with the pride of knowledge" and who disparage the path of devotion, stating their end does not seem good. The text criticizes the "stiffness of dry knowledge" as fruitless and describes scholars who swell with useless pride. In contrast, it asserts that an ignorant person can overcome life's crises through the power of faith alone. As Chapter 12 puts it, by placing faith at the feet of saints, the ignorance of the ignorant is destroyed, while the riddle of proud scriptural scholars is never solved.
