Strong Concordance | Job 7:20 | I have sinned [02398]; what shall I do [06466] unto thee, O thou preserver [05341] of men [0120]? why hast thou set [07760] me as a mark [04645] against thee, so that I am a burden [04853] to myself? |
Word | American Tract Society - Definition |
BURDEN | A weight or load, on body or soul; often used figuratively, to denote afflictions, failings, sins, Ps 38:4 55:22 Ga 6:2; services under law, Mt 23:4; official responsibilities, Ex 18:22 De 1:12; and especially prophetic messages, not always of a threatening character, Isa 19:1. In this last sense the Hebrew word may be rendered "oracle," "divine declaration," or "prophecy," as in Pr 31:31,1. |
