    In Daniel 5:20, the Hiphil infinitive construct occurs after the description of a heart being lifted up and a spirit becoming arrogant, in the clause that precedes deposition from the kingdom's throne. The APB renders the verse's sequence as his spirit becoming “arrogant so that he acted proudly.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 5:20, the APB presents the clause as a spirit becoming “arrogant” and then acting “proudly.” It does not isolate the lemma's exact English counterpart.
