Lexicon :: Strong's H1346 - ga'ăvâ

“There is none like the God of Jeshurun (Israel),

Who rides the heavens to your help,

And through the skies in His majestic glory.

“Happy and blessed are you, O Israel;

Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD,

The Shield of your help,

And the Sword of your majesty!

Your enemies will cringe before you,

And you will tread on their high places [tramping down their idolatrous altars].”

“His strong scales are his pride,

Bound together as with a tight seal.

In pride and arrogance the wicked hotly pursue and persecute the afflicted;

Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.

Let the lying lips be mute,

Which speak insolently and arrogantly against the [consistently] righteous

With pride and contempt.

O love the LORD, all you His godly ones!

The LORD preserves the faithful [those with moral and spiritual integrity]

And fully repays the [self-righteousness of the] arrogant.

Do not let the foot of the proud [person] overtake me,

And do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away.

Though its waters roar and foam,

Though the mountains tremble at its roaring. Selah.

Ascribe strength to God;

His majesty is over Israel

And His strength is in the skies.

Therefore pride is their necklace;

Violence covers them like a garment [like a long, luxurious robe].

In the mouth of the [arrogant] [fn]fool [who rejects God] is a rod for his back,

But the lips of the wise [when they speak with godly wisdom] will protect them.

A man’s pride and sense of self-importance will bring him down,

But he who has a humble spirit will obtain honor.

And all the people know it,

That is, [fn]Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria [its capital],

Who say in pride and arrogance of heart:

I [the LORD] have commanded My consecrated ones,

I have even called My great warriors,

My proudly exulting ones [the Medes and the Persians who triumph for My honor]—

To execute My anger.

In this way I will punish the world for its evil

And the wicked for their wickedness [their sin, their injustice, their wrongdoing];

I will also put an end to the arrogance of the proud

And will abase the arrogance of the tyrant.

We have heard of the pride of Moab, an excessive pride—

Even of his arrogance, his conceit, his rage,

His untruthful boasting.

And Moab will spread out his hands in the middle of the filth

As a swimmer spreads out his hands to swim,

But the Lord will humiliate his pride in spite of the [skillful] movements of his hands.

“We have heard of the [giddy] pride of Moab, the extremely proud one—

His haughtiness, his arrogance, his conceit, and his self-exaltation.

“On that day you [Israel] will feel no shame

Because of all your acts

By which you have rebelled and sinned against Me;

Then I will remove from among you

Your rejoicing ones who delight in their pride;

And you will never again behave arrogantly

On My holy mountain [Mount Zion].
