It is an emotional and moral reaction that often leads to acts of mercy and kindness. Pity is closely related to the concepts of compassion, mercy, and love, which are central to the character of God and the ethical teachings of the Bible.<br><br><b>Biblical References and Themes:</b><br><br>1. <b>God's Pity for Humanity:</b> <br> The Bible frequently describes God as having pity on His people. This divine pity is an expression of His love and mercy. In <a href="/psalms/103-13.htm">Psalm 103:13</a>, it is written, "As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him." Here, the term "compassion" can be understood as pity, highlighting God's tender care and concern for His creation.<br><br>2. <b>Pity in the Life of Jesus:</b> <br> Jesus Christ exemplified pity throughout His earthly ministry. His compassion for the suffering and marginalized is evident in numerous accounts. In <a href="/matthew/9-36.htm">Matthew 9:36</a>, it is recorded, "When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd." Jesus' pity often led to miraculous healings and acts of mercy, demonstrating the heart of God towards humanity.<br><br>3. <b>Human Pity and Moral Obligation:</b> <br> The Bible encourages believers to emulate God's pity in their interactions with others. In <a href="/colossians/3-12.htm">Colossians 3:12</a>, Paul instructs, "Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience." This call to compassion includes a sense of pity that motivates believers to act justly and love mercy, as emphasized in <a href="/micah/6-8.htm">Micah 6:8</a>.<br><br>4. <b>Pity and Justice:</b> <br> Pity is not merely an emotional response but is often linked with justice and righteousness. In <a href="/proverbs/21-13.htm">Proverbs 21:13</a>, it is warned, "Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too shall cry out and receive no answer." This verse underscores the importance of responding to the needs of others with pity, as a reflection of God's justice and righteousness.<br><br>5. <b>Pity and Forgiveness:</b> <br> Pity also plays a role in the process of forgiveness. In the parable of the unmerciful servant (<a href="/matthew/18-21.htm">Matthew 18:21-35</a>), Jesus illustrates the necessity of showing pity and forgiveness to others, as God has shown to us. The king's pity on the servant's debt is a metaphor for God's forgiveness of our sins, urging believers to extend the same mercy to others.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b> <br>Pity, as depicted in the Bible, is not a passive sentiment but an active force that compels believers to reflect God's character in their lives. It is a vital component of Christian ethics, driving acts of charity, justice, and reconciliation. The biblical call to pity challenges believers to transcend self-interest and embody the love and mercy of Christ in a broken world.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

It is allied to compassion (which see), but differs in respect of the object that causes the distress (or feeling). The feeling of pity is excited chiefly by the weakness, miserable or degraded condition of the object; compassion by his uncontrollable and inevitable misfortunes: "We pity a man of weak understanding who exposes his weakness; we compassionate the man who is reduced to a state of beggary and want" (Crabb, English Synonyms). Pity often becomes allied to contempt; "a pity" is something to be regretted. See <a href="../p/pitiful.htm">PITIFUL</a>. In the Old Testament "pity" is closely akin to "mercy." It is most frequently the translation of chamal, "to pity," "to spare," e.g. in Nathan's parable of the poor man's one lamb, it is said that the rich man was worthy to die because he had "no pity" (<a href="/2_samuel/12-6.htm">2 Samuel 12:6</a>).<br><br>In <a href="/jeremiah/13-14.htm">Jeremiah 13:14</a> we have, "I will not pity nor spare, nor have mercy," the Revised Version (British and American) "compassion"; compare 21:7; <a href="/lamentations/2-2.htm">Lamentations 2:2</a> <a href="/ezekiel/5-11.htm">Ezekiel 5:11</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/7-4.htm">Ezekiel 7:4</a>, in all of which passages "pity" stands in a negative connection; we have it positively attributed to God in <a href="/ezekiel/36-21.htm">Ezekiel 36:21</a>, "I had pity for mine holy name," the Revised Version (British and American) "regard"; <a href="/joel/2-18.htm">Joel 2:18</a>; chuc, probably meaning, primarily, "to cover," "protect," hence, to pity, to spare, is translated "pity" (<a href="/deuteronomy/7-16.htm">Deuteronomy 7:16</a>; <a href="/deuteronomy/13-8.htm">Deuteronomy 13:8</a> <a href="/ezekiel/16-5.htm">Ezekiel 16:5</a>, etc., all negative; <a href="/jonah/4-10.htm">Jonah 4:10</a>, positive: "Thou hast had pity on the gourd (the Revised Version (British and American) "regard for") and should not I spare (the Revised Version (British and American) "have regard for," chuc) Nineveh," etc.); chanan, "to incline, toward," "be gracious," "pity," is thrice rendered "pity" (<a href="/job/19-21.htm">Job 19:21</a>, "Have pity upon me, have pity upon me"; <a href="/proverbs/19-17.htm">Proverbs 19:17</a>; <a href="/proverbs/28-8.htm">Proverbs 28:8</a>, "he that hath pity upon the poor"); racham, "to feel warm," "to love," twice (<a href="/psalms/103-13.htm">Psalm 103:13</a>, "like as a father pitieth his children"; <a href="/isaiah/13-18.htm">Isaiah 13:18</a>, "no pity"); once in plural rachamim (<a href="/amos/1-11.htm">Amos 1:11</a>); other words once so translated are chemlah, "pity" (<a href="/isaiah/63-9.htm">Isaiah 63:9</a>); checedh, "loving-kindness" (<a href="/job/6-14.htm">Job 6:14</a>, the Revised Version (British and American) "kindness"); machmal, "object of pity" (<a href="/ezekiel/24-21.htm">Ezekiel 24:21</a>); nudh," to move," "bemoan" (<a href="/psalms/69-20.htm">Psalm 69:20</a>). In the New Testament "pity" occurs once only as the translation of eleeo, "to be kind," "tender" (<a href="/matthew/18-33.htm">Matthew 18:33</a>, the Revised Version (British and American) "mercy"). In 2 Maccabees 3:21 we have (the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and American)) "pitied" in the obsolete sense of exciting pity, "Then it would have pitied (eleein) a man to see the multitude," etc.<br><br>The Revised Version (British and American) has "pity" for "mercy" (<a href="/proverbs/14-21.htm">Proverbs 14:21</a>); "have pity on" for "spare" (<a href="/psalms/72-13.htm">Psalm 72:13</a>); for "favour" (<a href="/psalms/109-12.htm">Psalm 109:12</a>; <a href="/psalms/102-13.htm">Psalm 102:13, 14</a>), "Have pity upon her dust."<br><br>See <a href="../m/mercy.htm">MERCY</a>; <a href="../c/compassion.htm">COMPASSION</a>.<br><br>W.
