Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G5080 (τεθνήκω • tethnekō), which means to be dead or to have died. While not a direct translation, it shares the thematic element of a state of decline or cessation, reflecting the ultimate consequence of languishing or pining away.

Usage: The word דְּאָבוֹן (de'avon) is used in the context of expressing deep sorrow or a state of emotional or physical decline due to distress. It is often associated with mourning or a profound sense of loss.

Context: • דְּאָבוֹן (de'avon) appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe a condition of deep sorrow or mourning. It is a noun that conveys the idea of wasting away or languishing, often due to grief or distress. This term is used to depict the emotional and physical toll that sorrow can take on an individual.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the word is translated to reflect this sense of deep emotional pain or decline. For example, in Isaiah 61:3, the term is part of the description of the transformation from mourning to joy: "to console the mourners in Zion—to give them a crown of beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and a garment of praise for a spirit of despair."
• The usage of דְּאָבוֹן (de'avon) in the Hebrew Scriptures highlights the human experience of suffering and the hope for divine comfort and restoration. It underscores the biblical theme of God’s intervention to bring healing and joy to those who are in a state of despair.
