It is used to describe a state of tottering or wavering, suggesting a lack of firmness or strength. This term can be applied to physical objects, individuals, or even nations that are in a state of vulnerability or uncertainty.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, stability and strength were highly valued, both in physical structures and in personal character. The concept of tottering or being unstable would have been seen as undesirable, often associated with impending danger or failure. This term reflects the importance of having a firm foundation, whether in one's personal life, community, or relationship with God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>perhaps to totter, cause tottering<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>weighted down (2).<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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">עוּק</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> dubious (if correct, Aramaic form (compare <font class="hebrew2">עוּק</font>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb073402.gif">) for <font class="hebrew2">צוּק</font> <em>press</em>, so Thes and others);
