What is the opposite of pride ?
Q5: What is the opposite of pride ?
The Hebrew word for pride is "walking" strong". The opposite of pride
is humility.
Humility in ancient Hebrew means, "watching eye" "over the people" with
"active hands". This essentially is a brothers keeper, and was mentioned
once by Cain towards his brother Abel.
Ge 4:9 � And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother?
And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
� The Hebrew is saying am I my brothers guard ? "shamar" means to
guard, or look after, or keep, all similar meanings. So if our eyes
are watching to make our hands busy helping people and looking
out for people, that's humility.
� Pride is walking strong over people and controlling them. Humility
is looking out people and helping them. Shalom
