It can refer to physical substances melting or to more abstract concepts such as courage or strength dissolving in the face of fear or adversity.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of melting or dissolving was often used to describe the effects of fear, judgment, or divine intervention. The imagery of something solid turning into liquid or disappearing was a powerful metaphor for loss of strength, courage, or stability. This reflects a worldview where divine power could dramatically alter the natural order and human circumstances.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be low or humiliated<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>brought low (1), sag (1), sank down (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">מָכַךְ</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>be low, humiliated</b></font> (Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">מְכַךְ</font>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb056804.gif">; Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb056805.gif"> is <em>suck entirely out, diminish, consume</em>) — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Imperfect</em> <font class="hebrew2">וַיָּמֹ֫כּוּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/106-43.htm">Psalm 106:43</a> of perverse Israel <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Niph`al</b></font> <em>Imperfect</em> <font class="hebrew2">יִמַּךְ</font> <a href="/interlinear/ecclesiastes/10-18.htm">Ecclesiastes 10:18</a> <em>sink</em> (in decay) of house-timbers. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Hoph`al</b></font> <em>Perfect</em> <font class="hebrew2">וְהֻמְּכוּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/24-24.htm">Job 24:24</a> <em>be brought low</em>, of wicked. <p>I. <font class="hebrew2">מִכְלָה</font> see <font class="hebrew2">כלא</font>.
