Strong's Greek entry for κακία is G2549.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew word "roah" is used to describe moral evil or wickedness. It often refers to actions, thoughts, or intentions that are contrary to God's will and character. In the biblical context, "roah" is associated with behaviors and attitudes that lead to harm, injustice, and unrighteousness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, the concept of "roah" was understood in the context of covenantal relationships with God. The Israelites were called to live according to God's laws and commandments, and "roah" represented a deviation from this divine standard. The prophets frequently warned against "roah," urging the people to repent and return to righteousness. The term is often used in the context of social justice, emphasizing the importance of treating others with fairness and compassion.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>the same as <a href="/hebrew/7489b.htm">raa</a>, q.v.<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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>broken, utterly <p>For <a href="/hebrew/7455.htm">roa'</a>; breakage -- broken, utterly. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/7455.htm">roa'</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>רֹ֭עָה רעה rō‘āh rō·‘āh Roah<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/proverbs/25-19.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Proverbs 25:19</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/proverbs/25.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3"> שֵׁ֣ן <b> רֹ֭עָה </b> וְרֶ֣גֶל מוּעָ֑דֶת</span><br><a href="/kjvs/proverbs/25.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> of trouble <span class="itali">[is like] a broken</span> tooth,<br><a href="/interlinear/proverbs/25-19.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> tooth <span class="itali">a broken</span> foot of joint<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7465.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7465.htm">Strong's Hebrew 7465<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/roah_7465.htm">rō·‘āh — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/7464.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="7464"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="7464" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/7466.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="7466"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="7466" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
