This term can be applied to both physical and spiritual conditions, indicating a decline or weakening. The usage of נָסַס is relatively rare in the biblical text, and it often appears in poetic or prophetic contexts where the imagery of sickness or decline serves to illustrate a broader theological or moral point.
