ltnes: Light is used in Scripture, as in ordinary speech, in the sense of what is small, slight, trivial, easy; lightness with the connotation of vacillation or lasciviousness. Thus in the Old Testament, a light thing, a small, easy, slight thing (, kalal, 2Ki 3:18; Isa 49:6; Eze 8:17; Eze 22:7, in the last case to treat slightingly). Lightness (, kol) occurs in Jer 3:9 (the lightness of her whoredom); in Jer 23:32, the Revised Version (British and American) changes lightness (a different word) to vain boasting. In the New Testament the phrase occurs in Mat 22:5, made light of it (, ameleo), i.e. treated it with neglect; and Paul asks (2Co 1:17), Did I show lightness? (the Revised Version (British and American) fickleness). These examples sufficiently illustrate the meaning.<\/p>\n
