Question
EXPLAIN HAUGHTY EYES
Hi Doretha. It's nice to hear from you.
The closest thing I could find to a reference to haughty eyes was Psalm 131:1 (King James Version), which says, "LORD, my heart is not haughty , nor mine eyes lofty : neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me."
The King James Version of the Bible is written in Old English. Some of the words used are not common in our modern vernacular, so they are sometimes difficult to understand. "Haughty" is an Old English word for "high," and refers to an attitude or spirit that is unreasonably "high" or proud. Some dictionaries define the term as "disdainfully proud; snobbish; scornfully arrogant."
I hope this helps.
Scott

Expertise
I have studied the Bible and Bible-related topics since the time I was very young. My education includes a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Bible, and a Master of Divinity degree. I enjoy delving into deep theological issues and always enjoy a healthy debate. But more importantly, I like working with people and helping them to find the answers that they are looking for. And I am convinced that these answers are available in the Bible.
Experience
By the grace and mercy of God, I have been saved, born again, adopted into the family of God. God has given me a love for the Bible, and for Bible-related subjects. In addition, He has blessed me with ongoing training in the Scriptures, from my youth on up. The more I learn about God through His Word, the more I want to share!
