'Intense' in the Bible

Be glad and exceedingly joyful, for your reward in heaven is great [absolutely inexhaustible]; for in this same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, with intense and terrible, tormenting pain.”

From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violent assault, and violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize].
