It conveys a sense of dishonor and humiliation that affects one's reputation and standing within the community. This term is used to describe both personal and collective experiences of shame, often as a result of sin, defeat, or divine judgment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, honor and shame were pivotal social values. Honor was associated with social standing, reputation, and the respect of one's peers, while shame was a state to be avoided at all costs. Public disgrace could result from personal failure, moral transgression, or military defeat. The concept of shame was not only personal but also communal, affecting families and tribes. The Hebrew Scriptures often depict God as the one who can remove shame and restore honor, emphasizing the importance of divine intervention in overcoming disgrace.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3637.htm">kalam</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>ignominy<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>humiliation (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">כְּלִמּוּת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>ignominy</b></font>; — only construct <font class="hebrew2">וּכְלִמּוּת</font> <font class="hebrew2">עוֺלָם</font> <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/23-40.htm">Jeremiah 23:40</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">הֶרְמַּת עוֺלָם</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>shame <p>From <a href="/hebrew/3639.htm">klimmah</a>; disgrace -- shame. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/3639.htm">klimmah</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>וּכְלִמּ֣וּת וכלמות ū·ḵə·lim·mūṯ uchelimMut ūḵəlimmūṯ<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/jeremiah/23-40.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Jeremiah 23:40</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/23.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">חֶרְפַּ֣ת עוֹלָ֑ם <b> וּכְלִמּ֣וּת </b> עוֹלָ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֖ר</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/jeremiah/23.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> on you and an everlasting <span class="itali">humiliation</span> which<br><a href="/kjvs/jeremiah/23.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> upon you, and a perpetual <span class="itali">shame,</span> which shall not be forgotten.<br><a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/23-40.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> reproach an everlasting <span class="itali">humiliation</span> and an everlasting which<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3640.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3640.htm">Strong's Hebrew 3640<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/uchelimmut_3640.htm">ū·ḵə·lim·mūṯ — 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/3639.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="3639"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="3639" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/3641.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="3641"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="3641" /></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>
