1. be a glutton, be worthless — A verb with two related semantic nuances: (1) to be a glutton or squanderer, one who consumes excessively and without restraint, used as a participle functioning as a substantive -- 'a glutton' paired with drunkard and meat-eater (Deut 21:20 'this son of ours is stubborn... a glutton and a drunkard'; Prov 23:20-21 'be not among gluttons of flesh'; 28:7 'a companion of gluttons shames his father'); (2) to be light, worthless, or despised, indicating low value or contemptible status (Jer 15:19 'if you extract the precious from the worthless'; Lam 1:11 'how despised she has become'). Both senses share the root idea of being morally or socially 'light' -- either through self-indulgence or through diminished worth. All inflectional forms (singular, plural, feminine, construct with prepositions) belong to this single lemma. 6×
