Language

ats.tse.vet denotes pains or wounds, and in some contexts sorrow associated with a crushed spirit.

The term most often marks pains, wounds, or harm in clauses about suffering and causing harm; it also occurs for sorrows connected with multiplied grief and a crushed spirit.

Senses in use

  1. Pains, wounds, or harm · dominant

    The plural construct forms occur with the speaker's “pains” in Job 9:28 and with wounds that are bound up in Psalm 147:3. The singular absolute form in Proverbs 10:10 stands in the clause where eye-winking causes harm; in Proverbs 10:10 the APB renders the clause “causes injury.”

  2. Sorrows of heart · common

    In Psalm 16:4, the plural construct form occurs in the statement that “Their sorrows shall multiply.” In Proverbs 15:13, the singular construct form is found in the contrast where “sorrow of heart” leaves the spirit crushed.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously presents the relevant clauses with “pains,” “injury,” “wounds,” “sorrows,” and “sorrow.” These renderings show the verses' contexts rather than fixed English equivalents.
