These Hebrew terms share a thematic connection with ὀδυνάω, as they all convey aspects of suffering, distress, and emotional or physical pain.

Usage: The verb ὀδυνάω is used in the New Testament to describe physical or emotional suffering, distress, or grief. It conveys a sense of deep anguish or torment.

Context: The Greek verb ὀδυνάω appears in the New Testament to express intense emotional or physical suffering. It is often associated with the anguish of the soul or the torment of the body. This term is used in contexts where individuals experience profound distress, whether due to personal loss, physical affliction, or spiritual turmoil.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ὀδυνάω is notably used in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, found in Luke 16:24-25. Here, the rich man, suffering in Hades, cries out, "Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in agony in this fire." Abraham responds, "But Abraham replied, 'Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things. But now he is comforted here, and you are in agony.'" This passage illustrates the rich man's acute suffering and the reversal of fortunes in the afterlife, highlighting the moral and eschatological themes of justice and recompense.

The use of ὀδυνάω underscores the severity of the rich man's torment, serving as a poignant reminder of the consequences of a life lived without regard for others. It also reflects the broader biblical theme of divine justice and the ultimate comfort promised to those who suffer in this life.
