Displeased
Displeased
from agan, “much,” and achomai, “to grieve,” primarily meant “to feel a violent irritation, physically;” it was used, too, of the fermenting of wine; hence, metaphorically, “to show signs of grief, to be displeased, to be grieved, vexed;” it is translated “sore displeased” in Mat 21:15, AV; “much displeased,” in Mar 10:14; the RV always renders it “to be moved with, or to have indignation,” as the AV elsewhere, Mat 20:24; Mat 26:8; Mar 14:4; Luk 13:14. See INDIGNATION.
“to be wroth or displeased with” (pros, “toward,” or “with,” ochtheo, “to be sorely vexed”), is used in Heb 3:10, Heb 3:17 (AV, “grieved;” RV, “displeased”). “Grieved” does not adequately express the righteous anger of God intimated in the passage. See GRIEVE.
lit., “to fight with great animosity” (thumos, “passion,” machomai, “to fight”), hence, “to be very angry, to be highly displeased,” is said of Herod’s “displeasure” with the Tyrians and Sidonians, Act 12:20.
