thrusts (of a sword); stabbing blows
Found only in Proverbs 12:18, this term describes rash speech as being 'like sword thrusts.' The comparison is vivid: careless words wound as deeply as a blade. The plural form suggests repeated stabbing—not one slip of the tongue but a pattern of verbal violence. In contrast, the wise person's tongue brings healing. This is one of Scripture's sharpest metaphors for the power of words.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Proverbs 12:18's simile ('like thrusts of a sword') makes abstract speech concrete and painful. Reckless words don't just offend; they pierce. The Spanish 'estocadas' (sword thrusts) and the plural form across languages preserve the image of repeated stabbing. The domain (Nature, Class, Example) captures the comparative function: defining rash speech by analogy to weapon violence. 1×
