from G1037 (βυθός);

Appears 2 times in Scripture

Luke 5:7

So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

1 Timothy 6:9

Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction.

When bythízō is spoken over you

Words like this one get spoken over people: in a prayer line, in a message from a friend, in a moment nobody planned. The lexicon gives you what bythízō means. What God is saying to you through it is yours to record and weigh.

Doxa is where you record what was said, in the words it was said in, weigh it against verses like Luke 5:7 with people you trust, and return to it in a year to see what came of it.
