Mollify
Mollify
moli-f (from , rakhakh, to be soft): To make soft, used in modern English only figuratively, as His anger was mollified. English Versions of the Bible, however, uses the word literally in its two occurrences: Isa 1:6, wounds, and bruises … neither bound up, neither mollified with oil; The Wisdom of Solomon 16:12, mollifying plaister. Neither occurrence of the word is changed by the Revised Version (British and American).
