qut expresses revulsion directed either at oneself for evil acts or at people marked by treachery, opposition, or straying.

The attested uses show revulsion directed inward after remembering evil deeds, and directed outward toward treacherous people, those opposing the LORD, or a generation that goes astray.

Senses in use

  1. Self-revulsion over evil conduct · common

    In Ezekiel 20:43 and Ezekiel 36:31, the Niphal sequential perfect second masculine plural form occurs after the people remember their ways and deeds; the APB renders the response "you will loathe yourselves." In Ezekiel 6:9, the Niphal sequential perfect third common plural form similarly follows remembrance of evils and abominations, rendered "they will loathe themselves."

  2. Revulsion toward hostile or wayward people · common

    In Psalm 119:158, the first-person singular Hithpolel sequential imperfect form occurs on seeing people acting treacherously who have not kept God's word; the APB renders "loathed them." Psalm 139:21 places a first-person singular Hithpolel imperfect form with those who hate the LORD and rise up against him, while Psalm 95:10 uses a first-person singular Qal imperfect concerning a generation described as going astray in heart.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all six supplied verses, the APB uses forms of "loathe": "loathe yourselves," "loathed them," "loathe those," and "loathed that generation." These renderings confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than establishing a separate English equivalent in each verse.
