Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root זוד (zud), which means to boil up, seethe, or act proudly.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G459 (ἀνομία, anomia): Often translated as "lawlessness" or "iniquity," this term can relate to the concept of arrogance in the sense of acting without regard for divine law or order.
G5244 (ὑπερήφανος, hyperēphanos): This Greek term directly corresponds to the idea of arrogance or pride, describing someone who is haughty or disdainful. It is used in the New Testament to warn against the spiritual dangers of pride, similar to the warnings found in the Old Testament regarding זֵד (zed).

Usage: The term זֵד (zed) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe individuals who are characterized by arrogance or pride. It often conveys a sense of insolence or presumptuousness, typically in opposition to humility or righteousness.

Context: The Hebrew word זֵד (zed) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, often describing individuals or groups who exhibit a haughty or defiant attitude. This term is frequently associated with those who oppose God's will or who act with a sense of self-importance that disregards divine authority. For example, in Psalm 119:21, the psalmist declares, "You rebuke the arrogant, the cursed, who stray from Your commandments." Here, the "arrogant" are those who deviate from God's laws, highlighting the moral and spiritual implications of arrogance.

In Proverbs 21:24, the term is used to describe a person who is not only proud but also scornful: "Proud, Arrogant, and Mocker are his names, one who acts with excessive pride." This verse underscores the negative social and relational consequences of arrogance, as it leads to mockery and disdain for others.

The concept of arrogance in the biblical context is often contrasted with humility, a virtue highly esteemed in the Scriptures. Arrogance is seen as a barrier to wisdom and understanding, as it blinds individuals to their own faults and the needs of others. The biblical narrative consistently warns against the dangers of pride, emphasizing that it leads to downfall and destruction, as seen in Proverbs 16:18: "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall."
