anguish, languishing, despair of soul
This term appears in Moses' covenant curses, describing the psychological torment awaiting the disobedient: 'anguish of soul' paired with 'failing eyes.' The word suggests more than momentary anxiety—it denotes a chronic, draining despair that exhausts the inner person. Syriac cognates emphasize the languishing, wasting quality. This is spiritual and emotional attrition, the slow consumption of hope that comes from prolonged suffering without relief.

1. sense 1 — Deuteronomy 28:65 threatens exiles with 'anguish of soul'—a grinding emotional and spiritual despair. Paired with 'failing eyes' (from crying or strain), this creates a picture of total human depletion. The term goes beyond fear to describe the exhaustion of living without hope, security, or rest. The multilingual 'anguish' and 'desespero' (desperation) both capture this soul-deep distress. The curse envisions not quick death but prolonged suffering that drains away all vitality, leaving only hollow endurance—existence without any capacity for joy. 1×
