hurt, pain, sorrow — physical or emotional wound, injury, or grief
Encompasses both physical pain and emotional anguish. In Job 9:28, the sufferer dreads all his 'pains,' while Psalm 147:3 celebrates God as the one who 'binds up their hurts.' Proverbs uses it twice with distinct nuances: winking causes 'hurt' to others (10:10), and sorrow of heart crushes the spirit (15:13). The most theologically charged occurrence is Psalm 16:4, where 'their sorrows shall multiply' describes those who pursue other gods — pain as the wages of idolatry.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Physical or emotional pain, hurt, and sorrow arising from suffering, wrongdoing, or idolatry. In Job 9:28, it denotes the totality of bodily and existential anguish; in Ps 147:3, God heals these wounds. Prov 15:13 pairs 'pain of heart' against a glad heart. Spanish 'dolor' (pain/grief) and French 'travail' (suffering/labor) capture the dual physical-emotional range, while the German bracketed forms suggest translation difficulty — the word resists a single equivalent. 5×
