plege denotes destructive plagues, bodily wounds, and blows, from public calamities to injuries inflicted on people.

The term most often names destructive plagues or calamities, especially the series of judgments described in Revelation. It also denotes bodily blows and wounds inflicted by attackers or punishment, while one hardship list places it among severe sufferings.

1. Destructive plagues and calamities · dominant

   Plural forms designate afflictions that strike people or places: in Revelation 9:18 the APB renders three such events as killing a third of humanity, and in Revelation 15:1 it renders seven final plagues through which God's wrath is finished. In Revelation 18:4 the people are warned not to receive her plagues, while Revelation 22:18 warns of plagues being added to anyone who adds to the prophecy.

2. Bodily blows and resulting wounds · common

   The plural form refers to injuries inflicted on persons: in Acts 16:23 the APB renders many blows inflicted before imprisonment, and in Acts 16:33 it renders the wounds that are washed. In Luke 10:30 the robbed man is left half dead after wounds are put on him; Revelation 13:3 presents a singular wound associated with a head that appeared slaughtered to death and was healed.

3. Severe affliction in a hardship list · rare

   In 2 Corinthians 6:5, the dative plural stands in a sequence with prisons, disorders, labors, sleeplessnesses, and fastings; the APB renders that item as “plagues.” The clause shows the term included among hardships rather than identifying a particular injury or named judgment.

   2 Corinthians 6:5

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously presents the term as “plagues,” “blows,” and “wounds,” according to the verse's scene. These are verse-level renderings rather than a word-by-word alignment.
