Word of the Day - 10/7/2008

Overweening

Overweening means presumptuously conceited, overconfident, or proud.

Proverbs 21:24 asserts that the proud man engages in overweening acts.

"Proud," "Haughty," "Scoffer," are his names,
Who acts with insolent pride. (Proverbs 21:24, NASB)

Note: I realize this illustration is lame, but in my defense this verse is difficult to depict.
