Strong's Hebrew · H337

H337 ʼîy

אִי

ee

woe!

Looking for Greek G337 anairéō? It has the same number in Strong's Greek lexicon but is a different word, not a translation of H337. Strong's numbering starts again for each language.

ʼîy appears twice in Scripture, in Ecclesiastes 4:10 and Ecclesiastes 10:16. In the Doxa app, open each of these verses, keep your notes on them, and ask Doxa Engage how it connects to what God has said to you.
