So this morning I was reading in Proverbs 21. Verse 24 says, "The proud and arrogant man - 'Mocker' is his name; he behaves with overweening pride." I'm not too sure what overween means (it isn't even recognized by the spell check on this blog), so being the curious guy I am, I headed over to the normally reliable Merriam-Webster site and looked it up. This is what it said:
Overween, it turns out, isn't in the free Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, where you just searched. However, it is available in our premium Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary.
Way to use those easy words NIV. I thought it was King James' job to use the unabridged dictionary...
