However, concepts related to frivolity or insipidity in the New Testament might be expressed through Greek terms such as ματαιότης (mataiotēs, Strong's Greek 3153), which means vanity or futility, or κενός (kenos, Strong's Greek 2756), meaning empty or vain. These terms capture similar themes of emptiness or lack of substance in speech or behavior. Usage: The term תִּפְלָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote actions or speech that are considered frivolous, lacking in seriousness, or devoid of meaningful content. It is often associated with behavior that is inappropriate or unworthy. Context: The Hebrew word תִּפְלָה (tiflah) appears in the Old Testament to describe actions or speech that are considered frivolous or lacking in substance. This term is used to convey a sense of unseemliness or insipidity, often in a moral or spiritual context. In the book of Job, for example, Job uses the term to describe the empty and unhelpful words of his friends, highlighting their lack of true wisdom or understanding. The concept of תִּפְלָה is tied to the idea of behavior or speech that fails to meet the standards of righteousness or propriety expected in the biblical narrative.
