bathos denotes physical depth and, in abstract settings, profound or immeasurable extent.

The dominant abstract use describes profound or immeasurable extent: God's depths, riches, wisdom, and knowledge; deep poverty; and depth as one dimension or extreme. In physical scenes, it denotes the depth of water or the amount of soil beneath rocky ground.

1. Abstract profundity, extent, or extreme · dominant

   In 1 Corinthians 2:10, the accusative plural occurs in the clause that the Spirit searches “the depths of God.” Romans 11:33 presents the nominative singular with God's riches, wisdom, and knowledge, while 2 Corinthians 8:2 speaks of “deep poverty”; Ephesians 3:18 and Romans 8:39 place the singular among dimensions or extremes.

2. Physical depth in water or soil · common

   In Luke 5:4, the accusative singular is used in the instruction to put out “into the deep” before lowering nets. In Mark 4:5 and Matthew 13:5, the same form occurs where rocky ground has no depth of earth for the seed.

   Luke 5:4Mark 4:5Matthew 13:5

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “depth” in the clauses about God, dimensions, soil, and the contrast with height, and “the deep” for the water scene. It also uses “deep poverty” in 2 Corinthians 8:2; these are translation renderings rather than definitions.
