גַּאֲוָה

Deuteronomy 33:26 וּבְגַאֲוָת֖וֹ and in majesty his

“There is none like the God of Jeshurun, who rides the heavens to your aid, and the clouds in His majesty.

Here: "And in his majesty." The root means "to rise high". Used of people it often means arrogance, but of God it means his rightful, towering splendour. It matches "in your help" in the line before: he rides for Israel's good and in his own glory.

Deuteronomy 33:29 גַּאֲוָתֶ֑ךָ eminence your

Blessed are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD? He is the shield that protects you, the sword in which you boast. Your enemies will cower before you, and you shall trample their high places.”

Here: 'Your exaltation, your triumph.' This is a good, raised-up state, not the sin of arrogance. The same word described God riding the skies 'in his majesty' in v. 26, so Israel's majesty is on loan from God's.

Job 41:15 גַּ֭אֲוָה pride

His rows of scales are his pride, tightly sealed together.

Psalm 10:2 בְּגַאֲוַ֣ת in [the] pride of

In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.

Here: From a root meaning 'to rise up, be high'. Here it is the arrogance of someone who has lifted himself above God and neighbour. The preposition can mean 'in' (the setting he acts from) or 'through, because of' (the cause of what follows).

Psalm 31:18 בְּגַאֲוָ֥ה with pride

May lying lips be silenced—lips that speak with arrogance against the righteous, full of pride and contempt.

Here: "In haughtiness": the attitude behind the speech. Literally it is a lifting-up, a towering over the one they attack.

Psalm 31:23 גַאֲוָֽה׃ <of> pride

Love the LORD, all His saints. The LORD preserves the faithful, but fully repays the arrogant.

Here: From a root meaning "to rise high." In this psalm it refers to the enemies who "speak insolently against the righteous in pride and contempt" (v. 18).

Psalm 36:11 גַּאֲוָ֑ה pride

Let not the foot of the proud come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.

Here: Arrogance: the self-raising of someone who puts himself above others and above God. "Foot of pride" means arrogance acting as a trampler, so it amounts to "the arrogant person's foot".

Psalm 46:3 בְּגַאֲוָת֣וֹ at swelling its

though their waters roar and foam and the mountains quake in the surge. Selah

Here: Literally 'at its rising up / its pride.' The word covers both the physical swell of the sea and arrogance: the waves rearing up like something proud and defiant. The mountains shake at, or because of, the sea's surging arrogance.

Psalm 68:34 גַּאֲוָת֑וֹ majesty his

Ascribe the power to God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose strength is in the skies.

Psalm 73:6 גַאֲוָ֑ה pride

Therefore pride is their necklace; a garment of violence covers them.

Here: Pride, haughtiness, self-elevation. It is the subject of the verb before it: pride is what they wear on their necks. The word comes from a root meaning "to rise up, be high". Here it is the arrogance of people who feel untouchable.

Proverbs 14:3 גַּאֲוָ֑ה pride

The proud speech of a fool brings a rod to his back, but the lips of the wise protect them.

Proverbs 29:23 גַּאֲוַ֣ת [the] pride of

A man’s pride will bring him low, but a humble spirit will obtain honor.

Here: Self-elevation: a person lifting himself above his place. The word comes from a root meaning 'to rise high', which sets up the picture of height that the rest of the verse brings down.

Isaiah 9:9 בְּגַאֲוָ֛ה with pride

All the people will know it—Ephraim and the dwellers of Samaria. With pride and arrogance of heart they will say:

Isaiah 13:3 גַּאֲוָתִֽי׃ pride my

I have commanded My sanctified ones; I have even summoned My warriors to execute My wrath and exult in My triumph.

Here: 'My majesty' or 'my pride'. Used of God, the word means his exalted majesty. The phrase can mean 'those who exult in my majesty' or 'my proudly exulting ones'. Eight verses later the same word names the arrogance of tyrants that God brings down (13:11).

Isaiah 13:11 וְגַאֲוַ֥ת and [the] haughtiness of

I will punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their iniquity. I will end the haughtiness of the arrogant and lay low the pride of the ruthless.

Here: From the same 'rising high' root as geʾon. The repeated sound (geʾon … gaʾawat) hammers on one idea: height that will be cut down.

Isaiah 16:6 גַּאֲוָת֧וֹ haughtiness its

We have heard of Moab’s pomposity, his exceeding pride and conceit, his overflowing arrogance. But his boasting is empty.

Here: 'His haughtiness'. The third word from the g-'-h root in a row. The repetition is deliberate: the sound swells the way the pride does.

Isaiah 25:11 גַּֽאֲוָת֔וֹ haughtiness its

He will spread out his hands within it, as a swimmer spreads his arms to swim. His pride will be brought low, despite the skill of his hands.

Here: 'His pride'. The literal idea is 'rising up' or 'height'. It is the same word Isaiah 16:6 uses for Moab's notorious arrogance, so the hearers would recognise a known charge against Moab.

Jeremiah 48:29 וְגַאֲוָת֖וֹ and boastfulness its

We have heard of Moab’s pomposity, his exceeding pride and conceit, his proud arrogance and haughtiness of heart.

Zephaniah 3:11 גַּאֲוָתֵ֔ךְ pride your

On that day you will not be put to shame for any of the deeds by which you have transgressed against Me. For then I will remove from among you those who rejoice in their pride, and you will never again be haughty on My holy mountain.

Here: 'Your pride': the city's own loftiness, which these people celebrate. 'Exultant ones of your pride' means those who make merry in the city's arrogance.
