Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁאַן (sha'an), which means to be at ease or to be secure.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1847 (euphrosune): cheerfulness, joy Usage: The word is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a state of security or complacency, often with a negative connotation of overconfidence or arrogance. It appears in contexts where individuals or groups feel secure in their position, sometimes leading to a false sense of safety or pride. Context: The Hebrew term שַׁאֲנָן (sha'anan) is used in the Old Testament to describe a state of security or ease, often with an undertone of complacency or arrogance. This word appears in prophetic literature, where it is used to critique those who are overly confident in their security, neglecting the need for vigilance or humility before God. For instance, in Isaiah 32:9, the prophet warns the "complacent daughters" to rise up and hear his voice, indicating that their sense of security is misplaced. Similarly, in Zechariah 1:15, God expresses His anger at the nations that are "at ease," suggesting that their complacency is unwarranted and will be disrupted by divine intervention. The term thus serves as a caution against the dangers of self-assuredness that ignores spiritual and moral responsibilities.
