rot, decay, or putrefaction; decomposition and foul odor
This noun denotes rot or decay, appearing twice in Isaiah's judgment oracles. 'Instead of perfume there will be rottenness' (3:24) contrasts the finery of Jerusalem's elite women with their coming humiliation and decay. 'Their root will be as rottenness, and their blossom go up like dust' (5:24) depicts Israel's judgment using agricultural imagery—a plant rotting from the roots, its flower disintegrating. Both uses emphasize corruption and decomposition, the reversal of beauty and vitality. Rottenness represents not just death but disgraceful, malodorous decay.

1. sense 1 — Decay, rottenness, or putrefaction. Isaiah 3:24 employs it in a reversal list: beauty becomes shame, perfume becomes stench ('rot'). Chapter 5:24 uses botanical imagery: a nation that rejects Torah becomes like a plant with rotting roots and dusty blossoms, unable to sustain life. The Spanish 'podredumbre' and 'hedor' (putrefaction, stench) capture both the physical decomposition and the olfactory offense. This is not peaceful death but shameful dissolution, organic collapse that announces divine judgment through the senses. 2×
