It is often used in contexts where individuals or groups experience a reduction in strength, status, or resources. The term can describe physical, economic, or social diminishment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, strength and prosperity were often seen as signs of divine favor, while weakness and poverty could be interpreted as a result of sin or divine judgment. The concept of being "brought low" was significant in a culture that valued honor and social standing. The Israelites were agrarian, and their dependence on the land made them acutely aware of the fragility of their prosperity, which could be affected by factors like drought, invasion, or divine displeasure.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to hang, be low, languish<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>brought low (1), brought...low (3), fade (1), hang (1), look wistfully (1), thin (1).<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">דָּלַל</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>hang, be low, languish</b></font> (Late Hebrew Hiph`il <em>thin, thin out</em> vines, etc.;
