In the context of the Bible, the term "nauseated" is not directly mentioned in the Berean Standard Bible or other traditional translations. However, the concept of feeling nauseated or experiencing revulsion can be inferred from various passages that describe physical or spiritual reactions to sin, idolatry, or disobedience to God.

Biblical Context and Usage:

1. Spiritual Revulsion:
The Bible often uses vivid imagery to describe God's reaction to sin and idolatry, which can be likened to a feeling of nausea. In Revelation 3:16 , Jesus addresses the church in Laodicea, saying, "So because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to vomit you out of My mouth." This metaphor illustrates a divine revulsion towards spiritual complacency and half-heartedness, akin to a physical reaction of nausea.

2. Idolatry and Sin:
The Old Testament frequently depicts God's abhorrence of idolatry and the sinful practices of the nations surrounding Israel. In Leviticus 18:28 , God warns the Israelites, "And if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it spewed out the nations before you." This language conveys a sense of the land itself being nauseated by the abominations committed upon it, reflecting God's intolerance for sin.

3. Prophetic Imagery:
The prophets often used strong language to convey the severity of Israel's unfaithfulness. In Jeremiah 7:30 , God declares, "For the sons of Judah have done evil in My sight, declares the LORD. They have set up their abominations in the house that bears My Name, to defile it." The defilement of the temple with idolatry is portrayed as something that would cause a visceral reaction of disgust, similar to nausea.

4. Moral and Ethical Disgust:
The Bible also addresses the moral and ethical disgust that believers should feel towards sin. In Romans 12:9 , Paul exhorts, "Love must be sincere. Detest what is evil; cling to what is good." The call to "detest" evil suggests a strong aversion, akin to a feeling of nausea, towards anything that contradicts God's holiness and righteousness.

Theological Implications:

The concept of being nauseated by sin underscores the holiness of God and the call for believers to pursue purity and righteousness. It serves as a reminder of the seriousness with which God views sin and the importance of maintaining a sincere and wholehearted devotion to Him. The imagery of nausea and vomiting in the Bible highlights the incompatibility of sin with the divine nature and the transformative power of God's grace to cleanse and renew the believer.
