Usage: The word עָשׁוּק is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe situations of oppression or tyranny, often in the context of social injustice or the mistreatment of the vulnerable by those in power. Context: The term עָשׁוּק (ashuq) appears in the Hebrew Bible to highlight the plight of those who suffer under oppressive regimes or individuals. It is often used in prophetic literature to condemn the actions of those who exploit the poor and marginalized. For example, in Ecclesiastes 4:1, the Preacher observes, "Again I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking place under the sun: I saw the tears of the oppressed—and they have no comforter; power was on the side of their oppressors—and they have no comforter." This verse underscores the helplessness of the oppressed and the absence of justice in their situation. The prophets frequently call for justice and righteousness, urging leaders and the community to protect the rights of the oppressed and to act with compassion and fairness. The concept of עָשׁוּק is integral to the biblical call for social justice and the ethical treatment of all individuals.
