(Occurrence 0) wormwood and bitterness
(Some words not found in UHB: remember affliction_of,my and,homelessness_of,my wormwood and,bitterness )
Wormwood is a plant that gives a liquid which is very bitter to drink. Together “wormwood” and “bitterness” represent severe suffering. (See also: figs-metaphor)
3:19 is bitter beyond words (or is wormwood and gall): Wormwood is a plant with a bitter taste; here it represents the emotional intensity of inner agony (Prov 5:4; Rev 8:11). Gall is a poisonous plant that causes severe physical pain if eaten; it is a powerful symbol for extremely stressful emotions (Deut 29:18; Ps 69:21). The author seems to be at a dead end from which he cannot escape.
OET (OET-RV) Remember my suffering and my wanderings,
⇔ the wormwood and bitterness.
