Quoting David Martyn Lloyd-Jones:
“It does not say, ‘Blessed are those who are persecuted because they are objectionable.’ It does not say, ‘Blessed are those who are having a hard time in their Christian life because they are being difficult.’ It does not say, ‘Blessed are those who are being persecuted as Christians because they are seriously lacking in wisdom and are really foolish and unwise in what they regard as being their testimony.” (Studies in the Sermon on the Mount)

He is talking about Christians who get themselves into trouble because of their own self-will and lack of wisdom rather than following the example of Christ and the Scriptures.
