Senses in use

  1. A weakened heart amid affliction · dominant

    In Isaiah 1:5, the masculine singular absolute form occurs in the clause pairing every head with sickness and every heart with the condition at issue. In Jeremiah 8:18 and Lamentations 1:22, the same form describes the speaker's heart amid grief and many sighings; the APB renders these clauses with “my heart is faint.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the condition as “faint” in the heart clauses of all three verses. This rendering confirms the clauses' overall presentation rather than isolating the term independently.
