(Pro 21:24 KJV) Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.
All is summed up in “insolent pride” (2087) of the NASB or the “proud wrath” of the KJV. There is something going on here at a level I cannot discover. The KJV tools tell me there are two Hebrew words, “proud” (2087) and “wrath” (5678). The NASB has 2087 twice even though the translation seems to follow the KJV. Did the NASB translators bow to the traditional translation?
Either way pride is a problem. The modifiers help us to see the difference between such things as being proud of your family and being self centered to the point of attacking everything else.
So? Humility and an awareness of our dependence on God are always important.
