It often conveys a sense of persistent annoyance or disturbance, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. The concept of being vexed appears in various contexts throughout Scripture, illustrating the struggles and challenges faced by individuals and communities.<br><br><b>Old Testament Usage</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word often translated as "vexed" is "y&#257;&#703;as," which means to trouble or distress. One notable instance is found in the book of Judges, where the Israelites are described as being vexed by their enemies due to their disobedience to God. <a href="/judges/10-8.htm">Judges 10:8</a> states, "They shattered and crushed the Israelites that year, and for eighteen years they oppressed all the Israelites on the east side of the Jordan in Gilead, the land of the Amorites."<br><br>The term is also used in the context of personal affliction. In <a href="/1_samuel/1-6.htm">1 Samuel 1:6</a> , Hannah is described as being vexed by her rival Peninnah: "Because the LORD had closed Hannah&#8217;s womb, her rival would provoke her and taunt her viciously."<br><br><b>New Testament Usage</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the Greek word "basaniz&#333;" is often translated as "vexed." This term appears in the context of demonic oppression and spiritual affliction. For example, in <a href="/matthew/15-22.htm">Matthew 15:22</a> , a Canaanite woman cries out to Jesus, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is miserably vexed by a demon."<br><br>The concept of being vexed is also present in the narrative of Lot, who lived in Sodom. <a href="/2_peter/2-7.htm">2 Peter 2:7-8</a> describes Lot as being "distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless" and "tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard."<br><br><b>Spiritual Implications</b><br><br>From a spiritual perspective, being vexed can be seen as a test of faith and character. The Bible often portrays vexation as a result of living in a fallen world, where sin and evil cause distress to the righteous. Believers are encouraged to seek God's strength and deliverance in times of vexation. <a href="/psalms/34-17.htm">Psalm 34:17</a> assures, "The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears; He delivers them from all their troubles."<br><br><b>Practical Application</b><br><br>In practical terms, the experience of being vexed calls for patience, prayer, and reliance on God's promises. Christians are encouraged to bear one another's burdens and to support those who are vexed by life's challenges. <a href="/galatians/6-2.htm">Galatians 6:2</a> instructs, "Carry one another&#8217;s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."<br><br>The biblical understanding of vexation serves as a reminder of the spiritual battle believers face and the hope of ultimate deliverance through faith in Jesus Christ.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
