The pride of your heart The Hebrew word for "pride" is "גֵּאוּת" (ge'ut), which conveys a sense of arrogance or haughtiness.

The "heart" in Hebrew thought is the center of one's inner life, encompassing mind, will, and emotions. Thus, the "pride of your heart" suggests an internal, deep-seated arrogance that blinds one to reality and truth. This pride is a spiritual ailment that leads to self-deception, as it did with the Edomites, who trusted in their own strength and strategic position rather than in God. has deceived you O dwellers in the clefts of the rocks whose habitation is high who say in your heart 'Who can bring me down to the ground?'
