It is used both literally and metaphorically throughout Scripture to convey spiritual truths and moral lessons.<br><br><b>Old Testament Usage</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, the concept of withering is frequently associated with God's judgment and the consequences of sin. For instance, in <a href="/psalms/1-3.htm">Psalm 1:3-4</a>, the righteous are compared to a tree planted by streams of water, which yields fruit and does not wither, while the wicked are likened to chaff that the wind drives away. This imagery underscores the stability and prosperity of those who follow God's ways versus the instability of the wicked.<br><br>The prophet Isaiah uses the imagery of withering to describe the frailty of human life and the enduring nature of God's word: "The grass withers, the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever" (<a href="/isaiah/40-8.htm">Isaiah 40:8</a>). Here, withering serves as a metaphor for the transient nature of human existence in contrast to the eternal truth of God's promises.<br><br><b>New Testament Usage</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the term "withered" is often used in the context of Jesus' miracles, demonstrating His authority over creation and His compassion for those in need. One notable instance is the healing of the man with the withered hand. In <a href="/matthew/12-10.htm">Matthew 12:10-13</a> , Jesus encounters a man with a withered hand in the synagogue. Despite the Pharisees' scrutiny, Jesus heals the man, illustrating His lordship over the Sabbath and His power to restore what is broken.<br><br>The withering of the fig tree is another significant New Testament event. In <a href="/matthew/21-18.htm">Matthew 21:18-19</a> , Jesus curses a barren fig tree, which subsequently withers. This act serves as a symbolic judgment against unfruitfulness and a warning to Israel about the consequences of failing to produce spiritual fruit.<br><br><b>Spiritual Implications</b><br><br>The concept of withering in the Bible often carries spiritual implications, emphasizing the importance of remaining connected to God. In <a href="/john/15-5.htm">John 15:5-6</a> , Jesus teaches, "I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not remain in Me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers." This passage highlights the necessity of abiding in Christ to maintain spiritual vitality and avoid the spiritual withering that comes from separation from Him.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The imagery of withering in the Bible serves as a powerful reminder of the consequences of sin, the transient nature of life, and the necessity of remaining in a right relationship with God. Through both literal and metaphorical uses, Scripture calls believers to seek spiritual nourishment and vitality through faithfulness to God's word and reliance on His sustaining power.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

The contrasting figure emphasizes this idea: "All my fountains are in thee" (<a href="/psalms/87-7.htm">Psalm 87:7</a>). Also <a href="/psalms/1-3.htm">Psalm 1:3</a>, where the freshness and beauty of the righteous man's life are thus described: "And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water,.... whose leaf also doth not wither." In the New Testament xeraino, "to wither," is used to carry out the same idea of moral decay, or malnutrition of soul (<a href="/matthew/13-6.htm">Matthew 13:6</a>; <a href="/matthew/21-19.htm">Matthew 21:19</a>).<br><br>(2) "Wither" also had a physiological meaning, expressing both in the Old Testament and in the New Testament the idea of bodily impotence, especially, though not exclusively, of the limbs. Jeroboam was struck suddenly with paralysis of the arm, which is said to have "dried up" (<a href="/1_kings/13-4.htm">1 Kings 13:4-6</a>); "probably due to sudden hemorrhage affecting some part of the brain, which may under certain circumstances be only temporary" (HDB, 1-vol, 599). "Their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered" (<a href="/lamentations/4-8.htm">Lamentations 4:8</a>).<br><br>In the New Testament (<a href="/matthew/12-10.htm">Matthew 12:10</a> <a href="/mark/3-1.htm">Mark 3:1</a> <a href="/luke/6-6.htm">Luke 6:6</a>) "withered hand" was probably our modern "infantile paralysis," which may leave one or more limbs shrunken and powerless without detriment to the general health.<br><br>Arthur Walwyn Evans<p><a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/3584.htm"><span class="l">3584. xeros -- dry</span></a> <br><b>...</b> dry.
