H4783 H4783
persecution, oppressive pursuit (act of pursuing to harm or oppress)
This noun means persecution, the act of oppressive pursuit or harassment. It appears in Isaiah 14:6 describing Babylon's tyranny: striking peoples with fury, ruling nations in anger 'with unrelenting persecution'. The term emphasizes sustained, unrelenting oppression rather than isolated attacks. BDB notes the form resembles a Hophal participle, suggesting passive or intensive force. Ancient versions vary, with some reading an active participle 'persecutor'. The context celebrates the end of Babylon's merciless persecution of subjected peoples.

1. sense 1 — Persecution or unrelenting oppressive pursuit, sustained harassment of subjected peoples. Isaiah's taunt-song against Babylon's king describes tyranny characterized by continuous persecution without relief. The rare form (possibly Hophal or noun derived from Piel) intensifies the sense of sustained oppression. Ancient translators struggled with the form but grasped the meaning—unending, merciless pursuit. The term captures the relentless nature of imperial oppression. 1×
