Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
A-1 Adjective Strong's Number: g1652 Greek: eleeinos

Miserable, Miserably, Misery:

"pitiable, miserable" (from eleos, "mercy, pity;" see MERCY), is used in Rev 3:17, in the Lord's description of the church at Laodicea; here the idea is probably that of a combination of "misery" and pitiableness.

Note: For the comparative degree eleeinoteros, rendered "most pitiable" in 1Cr 15:19, RV (AV, "most miserable") see PITIABLE.

A-2 Adjective Strong's Number: g2556 Greek: kakos

Miserable, Miserably, Misery:

"bad, evil," is translated "miserable" in Mat 21:41, RV (AV, "wicked").
See BAD.

B-1 Adverb Strong's Number: g2556 Greek: kakos

Miserable, Miserably, Misery:

"badly, ill," is translated "miserably" in Mat 21:41 (see A, No. 2). Adhereing to the meaning "evil," and giving the designed stress, the sentence may be rendered, "evil (as they are) he will evilly destroy them."

C-1 Noun Strong's Number: g5004 Greek: talaiporia

Miserable, Miserably, Misery:

"hardship, suffering, distress" (akin to talaiporos, "wretched," Rom 7:24; Rev 3:17, and to talaiporeo, in the Middle Voice, "to afflict oneself," in Jam 4:9, "be afflicted"), is used as an abstract noun, "misery," in Rom 3:16; as a concrete noun, "miseries," in Jam 5:1.
