boasting

Solomon says, "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." Some, as soon as their vain boastings were uttered, were made monuments of divine justice.

After that there were boastings in Hereot! Then did the warriors brag before their stainless queen.

I don't like his boasting of his success in business.

His continual boasting gave offense to everybody.

He is always boasting of his achievements.

With all his boasting, he is a coward.
