| <p> The trunk of a tree, Job 14:8 , or a reproachful name for the idols carved out of it, Jeremiah 2:27; Hosea 4:12 . The stocks in which Paul and Silas were fastened, Acts 16:24 , were an instrument well known in Europe and [[America]] until recent times; consisting of two beams, the upper one movable, with grooves between them large enough to receive the ankles of the prisoner. The arms also were sometimes confined. [[Stocks]] were frequently erected in market places, that the insults of the populace might be added to the pain of confinement, Job 13:27; Jeremiah 20:2 . </p>
