In biblical context, arrogance is often associated with a rejection of God's authority and wisdom (<a href="/proverbs/8-13.htm">Proverbs 8:13</a>). The imagery of "pouring out" suggests an abundance or overflow, indicating that their speech is consistently filled with pride. This behavior is condemned throughout Scripture, as seen in <a href="/james/4-6.htm">James 4:6</a>, which states that God opposes the proud. The cultural context of ancient Israel placed a high value on humility and reverence for God, making arrogance particularly offensive. This phrase also echoes the warnings found in <a href="/proverbs/16-18.htm">Proverbs 16:18</a>, where pride precedes destruction.<p><b>all workers of iniquity boast.</b><br>The term "workers of iniquity" refers to those who actively engage in sinful behavior, deliberately opposing God's laws. Boasting in this context implies a sense of pride in their wrongdoing, which is a direct affront to God's holiness. This behavior is reminiscent of the people described in <a href="/romans/1-30.htm">Romans 1:30</a>, who are "boastful" and "inventors of evil." The historical context of the psalm suggests a time when the righteous were oppressed by the wicked, who took pride in their power and success. This boasting is contrasted with the humility and dependence on God that is expected of the faithful. Theologically, this phrase underscores the ultimate futility of pride and sin, as seen in the eventual judgment and downfall of the wicked, a theme prevalent throughout the Psalms and prophetic literature.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/w/workers_of_iniquity.htm">Workers of Iniquity</a></b><br>This term refers to those who engage in sinful behavior and act in opposition to God's will.
