Strong's Lexicon buz: Contempt, scorn, despise Original Word: בּוּז Word Origin: Derived from the root בּוּז (buz), which means "to despise" or "to hold in contempt." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2706 (kataphroneo) - to despise, disdain - G1848 (exoutheneo) - to treat with contempt Usage: The Hebrew word "buz" is used to denote a feeling or expression of disdain or contempt. It often conveys a strong sense of disrespect or derision towards someone or something. In the biblical context, it is used to describe the attitude of those who reject wisdom, righteousness, or divine instruction. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, honor and shame were significant cultural values. To hold someone in "buz" was to publicly shame or dishonor them, which could have severe social and relational consequences. This concept is often contrasted with the honor due to God and His commandments, highlighting the folly of those who scorn divine wisdom.
