ga.on denotes arrogant self-exaltation, and also the splendor or majesty attached to people, places, strength, and God.

The term most often marks arrogant self-exaltation that is condemned, exposed, or brought down. It also names a people's or place's splendor and strength, divine majesty, and elevated features described in relation to the Jordan or the sea.

1. Arrogant self-exaltation · dominant

   In Ezekiel 16:49 the absolute noun stands among Sodom's wrongdoing, alongside abundance and ease, while the APB renders the clause "pride, fullness of food, and quiet ease came to her." In Isaiah 16:6 and Jeremiah 48:29, repeated construct forms occur in descriptions of Moab's loftiness, arrogance, and haughtiness; Isaiah 13:11 and Zephaniah 2:10 place the term in declarations that such self-magnification will cease or receive judgment.

2. Splendor or strength claimed by a people or place · common

   Construct forms repeatedly qualify a nation, city, sanctuary, or strength in contexts of loss or reversal. In Ezekiel 24:21 the APB calls the sanctuary "the pride of your strength," while Ezekiel 30:18 says that Egypt's corresponding strength will cease; Isaiah 60:15 instead describes a restoration as "an eternal pride."

3. Majesty associated with God · occasional

   In Isaiah 2:10, Isaiah 2:19, and Isaiah 2:21, the construct form occurs in the repeated clause from which people hide when the LORD makes the earth tremble; the APB renders this as "the glory of his majesty." Isaiah 24:14 similarly places the form in a shout of joy concerning the LORD, and Job 37:4 connects it with the thunder of his voice.

   Isaiah 2:10Isaiah 2:19Isaiah 2:21Isaiah 24:14Job 37:4Psalm 47:5
4. Elevated force or feature in nature · rare

   The construct form is used of the Jordan in lion and destruction imagery: Jeremiah 49:19 says a lion comes up from "the pride of the Jordan," and Zechariah 11:3 says that this is ruined. Job 38:11 applies the term in the boundary set for the sea, where the APB renders "your proud waves."

   Jeremiah 49:19Jeremiah 50:44Zechariah 11:3Job 38:11

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB frequently uses "pride," including condemnatory descriptions and phrases such as "the pride of your strength." In divine and natural contexts it also uses "glory of his majesty" and "proud waves"; these are verse-level renderings rather than a fixed word-by-word equivalent.
