Define “Gloating” Biblically

How do I frame gloating in biblical language?

Here is the conversation: “I have the Richard Scarry book. I’m so glad I have the Richard Scarry book.” and the unstated “you don’t have it.”

It’s not exactly rejoicing when your enemy falls, although I think that’s close.

Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles; Proverbs 24:17

Any thoughts?
