Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1312 (διασπορά, diaspora): While not a direct translation, this term relates to the scattering or dispersion, often associated with the afflictions of exile.
• G3119 (μαλακία, malakia): This term refers to "weakness" or "sickness," capturing the physical aspect of affliction.
• G3148 (μάστιξ, mastix): Meaning "scourge" or "plague," it conveys the idea of suffering as a form of divine discipline or punishment.
• G3601 (ὀδύνη, odyne): This term directly translates to "pain" or "anguish," closely aligning with the emotional and physical suffering denoted by מַכָאֹב.

In summary, מַכָאֹב (mak'ob) is a profound term that encapsulates the multifaceted nature of human suffering, serving as a poignant reminder of the shared human experience of pain and the hope for divine intervention and healing.

Usage: The term מַכָאֹב is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe various forms of distress, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. It often appears in poetic and prophetic literature to express deep sorrow or suffering.

• In Isaiah 53:3, מַכָאֹב is used to describe the suffering servant: "He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief." This passage highlights the servant's intimate knowledge of human pain and affliction, underscoring themes of vicarious suffering and redemption.
• The term also appears in Jeremiah 30:15, where it is associated with the consequences of sin and the resulting divine chastisement: "Why do you cry out over your injury? Your pain is incurable. Because of your great guilt and numerous sins, I have done these things to you."
