Near synonyms 2 words
מַר mar · H4751 · drop, bitter
מַר (mar, H4751) means bitter, angry or discontented, and רַע (raʻ, H7451) means evil, bad, adversity or calamity. Both describe negative quality and distressing experience, including bad situations, grievous circumstances and emotional distress.
קָשֶׁה qâsheh · H7186 · hard, harsh, savage
קָשֶׁה (qâsheh, H7186) is primarily a quality adjective meaning hard, cruel or stubborn, while רַע (raʻ, H7451) covers badness and evil broadly. Both can describe harsh, grievous or fierce conditions, so they overlap in contexts of severity and distress.
In the other Testament 5 words
πονηρός ponērós · G4190 · immoral, evil, wicked
Greek πονηρός renders Hebrew רַע as the standard LXX equivalent for moral evil and harmful things, sharing the semantic range of wickedness, badness, and calamitous effects; the Greek term emphasizes evil in its active influence and effect while the Hebrew encompasses both moral badness and adverse circumstances.
κακός kakós · G2556 · bad, evil, harmful
Greek κακός renders Hebrew רַע across its full semantic range of moral evil, physical harm, and calamity, and the two correspond broadly across wisdom, prophetic, and narrative contexts.
κακία kakía · G2549 · wickedness, evil, badness
Greek κακία renders Hebrew רַע in LXX contexts where moral badness, wickedness, or malignity is in view, often overlapping with Hebrew רָעָה (רַע (raʻ, H7451)'s feminine form) in prophetic and wisdom literature condemning human depravity or divine judgment upon evil.
λύπη lýpē · G3077 · unhappiness, regret, sadness
λύπη focuses specifically on the emotional state of sadness or grief, while רַע encompasses a broader semantic range including moral evil, calamity, and general adversity; the cross-linguistic equivalence holds in contexts where רַע denotes distress or grief as an affective experience.
πονηρία ponēría · G4189 · wickedness, wicked deeds, doing evil things
πονηρία (ponēría, G4189) focuses on moral depravity and active wickedness, while רַע (raʻ, H7451) encompasses broader adversity including calamity and misfortune not necessarily implying moral agency; πονηρία serves as the LXX rendering when רַע denotes ethical evil rather than general harm.
