It is used to describe the profound emotional responses of individuals in various circumstances, reflecting the human condition and the consequences of sin, loss, or betrayal. 1. Peter's Denial and Weeping: One of the most poignant uses of "bitterly" is found in the account of Peter's denial of Jesus. After Peter denies knowing Jesus three times, as Jesus had foretold, the rooster crows, and Peter remembers Jesus' words. Overcome with remorse, Peter "went outside and wept bitterly" (<a href="/matthew/26-75.htm">Matthew 26:75</a>). This moment highlights Peter's deep regret and sorrow for his failure to stand by his Lord, illustrating the pain of personal betrayal and the path to repentance. 2. Esau's Loss of Blessing: In the Old Testament, Esau's reaction to losing his father's blessing to his brother Jacob is described with intense emotion. When Isaac informs Esau that Jacob has deceitfully taken the blessing meant for him, Esau cries out "with a great and bitter cry" (<a href="/genesis/27-34.htm">Genesis 27:34</a>). This expression of bitterness underscores the gravity of losing a birthright and blessing, which were of immense cultural and spiritual significance. 3. Hannah's Prayer: The account of Hannah, who was deeply distressed by her inability to bear children, also uses the term "bitterly" to describe her emotional state. In her anguish, she "wept bitterly" as she prayed to the LORD for a son (<a href="/1_samuel/1-10.htm">1 Samuel 1:10</a>). Her heartfelt prayer and subsequent vow to dedicate her child to God demonstrate the depth of her faith and the transformative power of prayer in times of personal despair. 4. Job's Lament: The Book of Job provides another example, where Job, in the midst of his suffering and loss, speaks of his bitterness. He laments, "I will complain in the bitterness of my soul" (<a href="/job/7-11.htm">Job 7:11</a>). Job's expression of bitterness reflects the profound struggle of a righteous man grappling with inexplicable suffering, raising questions about divine justice and human endurance. 5. Prophetic Warnings: The prophets often used the imagery of bitterness to convey the consequences of Israel's disobedience and the impending judgment. For instance, in <a href="/amos/8-10.htm">Amos 8:10</a>, God declares, "I will turn your feasts into mourning and all your songs into lamentation; I will make you wear sackcloth on your loins and shave your heads. I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and its end like a bitter day" . This prophetic language serves as a stark warning of the sorrow that accompanies turning away from God. 6. Bitterness in the Psalms: The Psalms frequently capture the full range of human emotions, including bitterness. <a href="/psalms/73-21.htm">Psalm 73:21</a> reflects on the internal struggle and emotional turmoil of the psalmist: "When my heart was grieved and I was pierced within, I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before You" . This acknowledgment of bitterness and subsequent realization of God's presence illustrates the journey from despair to understanding and trust in God's sovereignty. In biblical usage, "bitterly" often marks a turning point, where individuals confront their deepest emotions and, through repentance or divine intervention, find a path toward restoration and hope.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(adv.)
