A tricolon—gaavato {גַּאֲוָת֧וֹ | ga-’ă-vā-ṯô} ‘his arrogance’, ugeono {וּגְאוֹנ֛וֹ | ū-ge-’ō-nô} ‘his pride’, and veevrato {וְעֶבְרָת֖וֹ | wə-’e-vrā-ṯô} ‘his anger’—builds cumulative force.
In context — Isaiah 16:6
We have heard of Moab’s pride—how very proud he is—his arrogance, his pride, and his wrath ; but his boasts are not true.
