It often carries the connotation of a formal or authoritative statement, reflecting the power and authority behind the spoken word. In the context of the Bible, it can refer to divine commands or decrees issued by God or authoritative statements made by leaders.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, words and decrees held significant power. The spoken word was often seen as binding and authoritative, especially when issued by a king or deity. In the Hebrew Bible, God's words are depicted as powerful and effective, bringing about creation, judgment, and salvation. The concept of a divine word or command reflects the belief in the authority and sovereignty of God over creation and human affairs.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/4843.htm">marar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>bitterness<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bitterness (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">מֶ֫מֶר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>bitterness</b></font>; — <font class="hebrew2">לְיוֺלדְתּוֺ</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">מ</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/17-25.htm">Proverbs 17:25</a> of a fool-son ("" <font class="hebrew2">כַּעַס לְאָבִיו</font>). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>bitterness <p>From an unused root meaning to grieve; sorrow -- bitterness. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>וּ֝מֶ֗מֶר וממר ū·me·mer uMemer ūmemer<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/proverbs/17-25.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Proverbs 17:25</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/proverbs/17.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">בֵּ֣ן כְּסִ֑יל <b> וּ֝מֶ֗מֶר </b> לְיוֹלַדְתּֽוֹ׃ </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/proverbs/17.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> to his father <span class="itali">And bitterness</span> to her who bore<br><a href="/kjvs/proverbs/17.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> to his father, <span class="itali">and bitterness</span> to her that bare<br><a href="/interlinear/proverbs/17-25.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> son A foolish <span class="itali">and bitterness</span> bore<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4470.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4470.htm">Strong's Hebrew 4470<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/umemer_4470.htm">ū·me·mer — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/4469.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="4469"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="4469" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/4471.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="4471"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="4471" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
