Adversity
ad-vursi-ti: In the Revised Version (British and American) exclusively an Old Testament term, expressing the various forms of distress and evil conveyed by four Hebrew words: , cela, a halting or fall; , carah, straits distress, affliction; , car, straitness, affliction; , ra), bad, evil, harmful. These words cover the whole range of misfortunes caused by enemies, poverty, sorrow and trouble. Adversity, which occurs once in the King James Version in New Testament (Heb 13:3 : , kakouchoumenos, ill-treated) is displaced in the Revised Version (British and American) by the literal rendering which illustrates or interprets a common phase of adversity.

Adversity
Isa 30:20 (b) This expression represents the sorrows on which GOD’s people will feed when they turn their backs on their Lord and become disobedient. They will feed on their difficulties and pains. They will meditate on them, talk about them, and grieve over them as though they were something to be treasured and sought after. This thought will be further developed under the word “ASHES.”
