In Jewish tradition

In these verses it means loud, wild joy, which can be wrong when it is not rooted in faithfulness to God.

Interpretation. Hosea warns Israel not to rejoice like the idol-worshiping nations. Job speaks of those who long for death with a gladness that is the opposite of true joy.

Examples

  • Who rejoice unto exultation, and are glad, when they can find the grave? — (Writings JOB.3.22, JPS 1917) tree →
  • Rejoice not, O Israel, unto exultation, like the peoples, for thou hast gone astray from thy God, thou hast loved a harlot's hire upon every corn-floor. (Prophets HOS.9.1, JPS 1917) tree →
