Horrible:

hor'-i-b'-l (sha‘arur, sha‘aruri): In Jer 5:30 sha‘arur, "vile," "horrible," is translated "horrible," "a wonderful and horrible thing" the Revised Version margin "astonishment and horror"; also Jer 23:14; in 18:13; Ho 6:10 it is sha‘aruri; in Ps 11:6 we have zil‘aphah, "heat," the Revised Version (British and American) "burning wind"; in Ps 40:2 sha'on, "noise," "tumult," "He brought me up.... out of a horrible pit," the Revised Version margin "a pit of tumult" (or destruction). Horribly is the translation of sa‘ar, "to shudder," "to be whirled away," in Jer 2:12, and of sa‘ar, "fear," "trembling," in Eze 32:10; in Eze 27:35 the Revised Version (British and American) has "horribly afraid" (sa‘ar) for "sore afraid." "Horrible" occurs frequently in Apocrypha (2 Esdras 11:45; 15:28,34; The Wisdom of Solomon 3:19, "For horrible (chalepos) is the end of the unrighteous generation" the Revised Version (British and American) "grievous" etc.).
