It conveys a sense of self-exaltation and haughtiness, often in opposition to humility and reliance on God. In the biblical context, pride is frequently depicted as a negative trait that leads to downfall and separation from God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, humility was highly valued, and pride was seen as a vice that distanced individuals from God and community. The biblical narrative often contrasts the proud with the humble, emphasizing that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble (Proverbs 3:34). The cultural context of the ancient Near East also viewed pride as a dangerous trait that could lead to social and spiritual ruin.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>proud, haughty<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>haughty (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">יָהִיר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>proud, haughty</b></font>, <font class="hebrew2">זֵד יָהִיר לֵץ</font> <font class="hebrew2">שְׁמוֺ</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/21-24.htm">Proverbs 21:24</a> <em>a presumptuous man</em>, (who is) <em>haughty, scoffer is his name</em> (+ <font class="hebrew2">עוֺשֶׂה בְּעֶבְרַת זָדוֺן</font>);
