Looking for Greek G5036 tachýs? It has the same number in Strong's Greek lexicon but is a different word, not a translation of H5036. Strong's numbering starts again for each language.
When nâbâl is spoken over you, Doxa is where you record what was said, in the words it was said in, weigh it against Scripture with people you trust, and return to it in a year.

stupid; wicked (especially impious)

When nâbâl 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 nâbâl 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 Deuteronomy 32:21 with people you trust, and return to it in a year to see what came of it.
