It often conveys the idea of being morally twisted or not straightforward. In the context of the Bible, it is used to describe the nature of the human heart as being inherently deceitful and not to be trusted without divine guidance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the heart was considered the center of thought, emotion, and will. Describing the heart as "aqob" reflects a deep understanding of human nature's propensity towards sin and moral failure. This concept is consistent with the broader biblical narrative that emphasizes the need for divine intervention and transformation of the heart.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I. <font class="hebrew2">עָקֹב</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective</b></font> <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>insidious, deceitful</b></font>, <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/17-9.htm">Jeremiah 17:9</a> <font class="hebrew2">עָקֹב הַלֵּב מִכֹּל</font>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>foot-tracked</b></font> (denominative from I. <font class="hebrew2">עָקֵב</font>) <a href="/interlinear/hosea/6-8.htm">Hosea 6:8</a> <font class="hebrew2">גִּלְעָד קִרְיַת מֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן עֲֹקֻבָּה מִדָּם</font>. <p> II. <font class="hebrew2">עָקֹב</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>steep, hilly</b></font> (see √;
