'Rottenness' in the Bible
A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.
Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.
