It often implies a sense of disappointment or being confounded, particularly in the context of unmet expectations or failure. The term can also suggest a public disgrace or humiliation, reflecting a deep sense of personal or communal dishonor. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, honor and shame were pivotal social values. Honor was associated with social standing, reputation, and the fulfillment of communal and covenantal expectations. Conversely, shame was a powerful negative force, often linked to sin, failure, or divine judgment. The concept of shame in the Hebrew Bible is not merely an internal feeling but often has communal implications, affecting one's standing within the community and relationship with God.
