It conveys a sense of instability, lack of direction, and vulnerability to external forces. In the New Testament, it is used to illustrate spiritual or emotional turmoil, often in the context of doubt or lack of faith.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Mediterranean world, seafaring was a common yet perilous activity. The sea was often seen as a symbol of chaos and danger, and being caught in a storm was a vivid metaphor for life's uncertainties and trials. The imagery of being tossed by waves would have resonated deeply with early Christian communities, many of whom lived in coastal regions and were familiar with the unpredictability of the sea.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2830.htm">kludón</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be tossed by waves<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>tossed here and there by waves (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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2831: κλυδωνίζομαι</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κλυδωνίζομαι</span></span>, participle <span class="greek2">κλυδωνιζόμενος</span>; (<span class="greek2">κλύδων</span>); <span class="accented">to be tossed by the waves</span>; metaphorically, <span class="accented">to be agitated</span> (like the waves) <span class="accented">mentally</span> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
