It conveys a sense of being in a tight spot or under significant strain, whether physically, emotionally, or spiritually.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the concept of distress was not only a personal experience but also a communal one. The Israelites often faced external threats from surrounding nations, leading to periods of national distress. Additionally, the social and economic structures of the time could lead to personal oppression, such as debt slavery or unjust treatment by those in power. The Hebrew Scriptures frequently address these issues, calling for justice and compassion.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">צוֺק</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> si vera lectio, <font size="+1"><b>constraint, distress</b></font>;
