Usage: The verb לָאָה (lā'â) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a state of weariness or fatigue, both physical and emotional. It can also convey a sense of being disgusted or fed up with a situation or action. Context: The Hebrew verb לָאָה (lā'â) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, often describing the physical exhaustion of individuals or the emotional weariness that comes from prolonged distress or frustration. This term is used to express the fatigue that results from laborious tasks or the mental exhaustion from dealing with persistent challenges. In the Berean Standard Bible, לָאָה is translated in contexts that highlight the human experience of weariness. For example, in Isaiah 40:30-31, the prophet speaks of the weariness of youth and contrasts it with the renewed strength given by the Lord: "Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength." The term also appears in Jeremiah 6:11, where the prophet expresses his weariness with holding in the wrath of the Lord: "But I am full of the wrath of the LORD, and I am weary of holding it in." The concept of לָאָה extends beyond physical tiredness to include a sense of being fed up or disgusted, as seen in contexts where individuals are overwhelmed by circumstances or the behavior of others.
