Romans 9:2

Heaviness, sorrow [λ υ π η ο δ υ ν η]. Heaviness, so Wyc. and Tynd., in the earlier sense of sorrow. So Chaucer :

"Who feeleth double sorrow and heaviness But Palamon?"

"Knight's Tale," 1456

Shakespeare :

"I am here, brother, full of heaviness."

2 "Henry iv," 4, 5, 8

Rev., sorrow. Odunh is better rendered pain. Some derive it from the root ed eat, as indicating, consuming pain. Compare Horace, curae edares devouring cares. Only here and 1 Timothy 6:10, Heart. See on ch. Romans 1:21.
