1347: gaw-ohn'
Strong: H1347
Orig: from 1342; the same as 1346:--arrogancy, excellency(-lent), majesty, pomp, pride, proud, swelling. H1342 H1346
Use: TWOT-299e Noun Masculine
As we can see pride. Doesn't come before a fall but destruction. However based on the listed meanings of gaw-ohn arrogance is likely a better translation. And makes more sense to come before destruction.
One can have pride in a fine days work or in making something great for yourself and others. Destruction is not likely to follow either of those events of pride.
