What does Proverbs 17:19 mean?

If you love fighting, you’re asking for trouble. If you brag about your big plans, you’re setting yourself up for a fall. Proverbs 17:19 - Modern Text Bible

(This verse connects a love of conflict and arrogance with self-destruction. Picking fights and showing off both lead to problems.)
