The word "wormwood" is derived from the Hebrew term "la'anah" and the Greek "apsinthos," both of which denote bitterness. In biblical literature, wormwood is frequently used metaphorically to describe the consequences of sin and divine retribution.<br><br><b>Old Testament References</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, wormwood is mentioned several times, primarily in the context of God's judgment upon His people for their disobedience. In <a href="/deuteronomy/29-18.htm">Deuteronomy 29:18</a> , Moses warns the Israelites against idolatry, cautioning that there should not be among them "a root bearing poisonous fruit and wormwood." This imagery underscores the destructive consequences of turning away from God.<br><br>The prophet Jeremiah also uses wormwood to symbolize the bitterness of judgment. In <a href="/jeremiah/9-15.htm">Jeremiah 9:15</a> , God declares, "Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: 'Behold, I will feed this people wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink.'" Here, wormwood represents the severe punishment that will befall the people due to their persistent rebellion and idolatry.<br><br>Similarly, in <a href="/lamentations/3-15.htm">Lamentations 3:15</a>,19 , the prophet laments the suffering of Jerusalem, stating, "He has filled me with bitterness; He has intoxicated me with wormwood." The use of wormwood in this context highlights the profound grief and suffering experienced by the prophet and the people as a result of the city's destruction.<br><br><b>New Testament Reference</b><br><br>In the New Testament, wormwood appears in the apocalyptic imagery of the Book of Revelation. <a href="/revelation/8-10.htm">Revelation 8:10-11</a> describes the third trumpet judgment: "Then the third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star burning like a torch fell from heaven and landed on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter like wormwood oil, and many people died from the bitter waters."<br><br>In this passage, wormwood is personified as a star that brings calamity upon the earth, turning the waters bitter and causing widespread death. This vivid imagery serves as a warning of the severe judgments that will occur during the end times, emphasizing the consequences of humanity's sinfulness and the ultimate sovereignty of God.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Interpretation</b><br><br>Throughout Scripture, wormwood symbolizes the bitterness and sorrow that result from sin and divine judgment. It serves as a powerful reminder of the consequences of turning away from God's commandments and the inevitable suffering that follows disobedience. The recurring theme of wormwood in both the Old and New Testaments underscores the seriousness with which God views sin and the importance of repentance and faithfulness to His covenant.<br><br>In a broader theological context, wormwood can be seen as a representation of the moral and spiritual decay that occurs when individuals or nations forsake God. It calls believers to remain vigilant in their faith, to seek God's guidance, and to avoid the spiritual pitfalls that lead to bitterness and destruction.<a name="top" id="top"></a><div class="vheading2">Topical Bible Verses</div><span class="rtext"><a href="/revelation/8-11.htm">Revelation 8:11</a></span><br>And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/context/revelation/8-10.htm">Revelation 8:10-11</a></span><br>And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell on the third part of the rivers, and on the fountains of waters;<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/jeremiah/23-15.htm">Jeremiah 23:15</a></span><br>Therefore thus said the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/jeremiah/9-15.htm">Jeremiah 9:15</a></span><br>Therefore thus said the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/lamentations/3-19.htm">Lamentations 3:19</a></span><br>Remembering my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/revelation/8-10.htm">Revelation 8:10</a></span><br>And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell on the third part of the rivers, and on the fountains of waters;<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/proverbs/5-4.htm">Proverbs 5:4</a></span><br>But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Hebrews la'anah, the Artemisia absinthium of botanists.

Nevertheless all ancient tradition supports the English Versions of the Bible translation. The genus Artemisia (Natural Order Compositae), "wormwood," has five species of shrubs or herbs found in Palestine (Post), any one of which may furnish a bitter taste. The name is derived from the property of many species acting as anthelmintics, while other varieties are used in the manufacture of absinthe.<br><br>E. W. G.

Wormwood is used of bitter calamities (of <a href="/lamentations/3-15.htm">Lamentations 3:15</a>), and may here indicate some judgment, inflicted under a noted leader, affecting chiefly the internal sources of a country's prosperity. Older expositors, applying the earlier trumpets to the downfall of the Roman empire, saw in the star a symbol of the barbarian invasions of Attila or Genseric.<br><br>See also <a href="../a/astronomy.htm">ASTRONOMY, sec</a>.
