Psalm 38:5 (a) It is not clear whether David referred to some actual ulcers in his body which gave forth a vile odor, or whether he is referring to the injuries received by his soul from his many enemies. We do not read of physical diseases in the case of King David, except indirectly. His enemies spoke of it, and always in derision.

Ecclesiastes 10:1 (b) The unwise actions of an honorable man have a bad effect upon the minds of those who know about it. Ointment or perfume is spoiled by any dead animal being in it, so evil actions injure the hearts of those who hold the actor in honor.

Isaiah 3:24 (c) This term is given to the bad living and the evil actions which are a stench in GOD's nostrils, and which He despises. (See also Isaiah 34:3; Joel 2:20; Amos 4:10).
