Strong's Lexicon zadon: Arrogance, pride, insolence Original Word: זָדוֹן Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: zadown Pronunciation: zah-DONE Phonetic Spelling: (zaw-done') Definition: arrogance Meaning: Arrogance, pride, insolence. Word Origin: Derived from the root זיד (zid), which means to act proudly or presumptuously. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G763 (ἀσεβής, asebēs): Impious, ungodly, often used to describe those who act arrogantly against God. • G5196 (ὑπερηφανία, hyperēphania): Pride, arrogance, a term used to denote an overbearing attitude or haughtiness. • G5243 (ὑπερφρονέω, hyperphroneō): To think highly of oneself, to be proud, reflecting an attitude of superiority or arrogance. These Greek terms capture similar themes of arrogance and pride as seen in the Hebrew זָדוֹן, emphasizing the consistent biblical message against such attitudes. Usage: The term זָדוֹן is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a state of arrogance or pride, often in a negative context, highlighting a defiant or insolent attitude against God or others. Context: The Hebrew word זָדוֹן (zadon) is frequently associated with a sense of prideful defiance and is often used to describe the attitude of individuals or nations that act with haughty disregard for divine authority or moral law. This term appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, emphasizing the destructive nature of arrogance and its opposition to humility and righteousness. In Deuteronomy 17:12, זָדוֹן is used to describe the attitude of a person who acts presumptuously by not listening to the priest or judge, highlighting the rebellious nature of arrogance against established authority. Similarly, in Proverbs 11:2, the text states, "When pride comes, disgrace follows, but with humility comes wisdom," illustrating the contrast between the consequences of arrogance and the benefits of humility. The prophets often warned against the dangers of זָדוֹן, as seen in Isaiah 16:6, where the pride of Moab is condemned, and in Jeremiah 49:16, where the arrogance of Edom is highlighted as a precursor to its downfall. These passages underscore the biblical theme that arrogance leads to destruction, while humility aligns with divine favor. The concept of זָדוֹן is not only a personal failing but also a national one, as nations that exhibit arrogance are often depicted as being on a path to judgment. This reflects the broader biblical principle that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6).
