Miserably Miserable Misery
Miserably Miserable Misery [1]
"pitiable, miserable" (from eleos, "mercy, pity;" see Mercy), is used in Revelation 3:17 , in the Lord's description of the church at Laodicea; here the idea is probably that of a combination of "misery" and pitiableness.
1 Corinthians 15:19Pitiable.
"bad, evil," is translated "miserable" in Matthew 21:41 , Rv (Av, "wicked"). See Bad.
"badly, ill," is translated "miserably" in Matthew 21:41 (see A, No. 2). Adhereing to the meaning "evil," and giving the designed stress, the sentence may be rendered, "evil (as they are) he will evilly destroy them."
"hardship, suffering, distress" (akin to talaiporos, "wretched," Romans 7:24; Revelation 3:17 , and to talaiporeo, in the Middle Voice, "to afflict oneself," in James 4:9 , "be afflicted"), is used as an abstract noun, "misery," in Romans 3:16; as a concrete noun, "miseries," in James 5:1 .
