noi´sum ( הוּה , hawwāh , רע , ra‛ ; κακός , kakós ): "Noisome" from "annoy" ( annoysome ) has in Bible English the meaning of "evil," "hurtful," not of "offensive" or "loathsome." It is the translation of hawwāh , "mischief," "calamity" ( Psalm 91:3 , "noisome pestilence," the Revised Version (British and American) "deadly"); of ra‛ , a common word for "evil" (Ezekiel 14:15 , Ezekiel 14:21 ), "noisome beasts" (the Revised Version (British and American) "evil"). It occurs also in Job 31:40 the King James Version margin as the translation of bo'shāh , "noisome weeds," the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and American) "cockle," as in the King James Version margin; of kakos , "evil," "bad" (Revelation 16:2 ), "a noisome and grievous sore." "Noisome" also occurs in Apocrypha (2 Macc 9:9) as the translation of barúnō , "to make heavy," "oppress," where it seems to have the meaning of "loathsome."
