Psalm 13:1 (); Job 2:10) equivalent to impious, godless (because such a man neglects and despises what relates to salvation), Matthew 5:22; (some take the word here as a Hebrew term (מורֶה, rebel) expressive of condemnation; cf. Numbers 20:10; Psalm 68:8; but see the Syriac; Field, Otium Norv. pars iii. at the passage; Levy, Neuhebräisch. u. Chald. Wörterbuch under the word מורום).

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

With this NT ἅπ. εἰρ. (2 Corinthians 11:25), which is found elsewhere only in late writers (cf. Sturz Dial. Mac. p. 186), we may compare the new νυκτῆμαρ in the Christian letter, addressed perhaps to a Bishop, P Lond 981.12 (iv/A.D.) (=111. p. 242, Chrest. I. p. 157) περιοδεύομεν καὶ περιπατοῦμεν νυκτῆμαρ, θαρροῦμεν ταῖς προσευχαῖς σου.
