זָעַם

Numbers 23:7 זֹעֲמָ֥ה denounce !

And Balaam lifted up an oracle, saying: “Balak brought me from Aram, the king of Moab from the mountains of the east. ‘Come,’ he said, ‘put a curse on Jacob for me; come and denounce Israel!’

Here: 'Denounce!' Pronounce wrath against them, speak them into divine anger. It is a near-synonym of 'curse' that stresses the anger behind the words. Verse 8 picks up both verbs.

Numbers 23:8 אֶזְעֹ֔ם זָעַ֖ם will I denounce, he has denounced

How can I curse those whom God has not cursed? How can I denounce those whom the LORD has not denounced?

Here: "Could I denounce?" This means voicing hostile, wrathful words that call down doom. It echoes exactly Balak's command in verse 7, "come, denounce (zoʿamah) Israel."

Psalm 7:11 זֹעֵ֥ם [is] indignant

God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.

Proverbs 22:14 זְע֥וּם [one who] is cursed of

The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit; he who is under the wrath of the LORD will fall into it.

Here: A passive form: 'one who has been denounced'. This is the man God's indignation has been declared against, the man under God's curse. It is a person described by where he stands with God, not just someone who happens to be disliked.

Proverbs 24:24 יִזְעָמ֥וּהוּ they will denounce him

Whoever tells the guilty, “You are innocent”—peoples will curse him, and nations will denounce him;

Proverbs 25:23 נִ֝זְעָמִ֗ים indignant

As the north wind brings forth rain, so a backbiting tongue brings angry looks.

Isaiah 66:14 וְזָעַ֖ם and he will be indignant

When you see, you will rejoice, and you will flourish like grass; then the hand of the LORD will be revealed to His servants, but His wrath will be shown to His enemies.

Here: "And he will denounce / be indignant at." Active, with God as the subject. It is more than a feeling of displeasure: the verb covers declaring a curse against someone (Num 23:7–8).

Daniel 11:30 וְזָעַ֥ם and he will direct indignation

Ships of Kittim will come against him, and he will lose heart. Then he will turn back and rage against the holy covenant and do damage. So he will return and show favor to those who forsake the holy covenant.

Micah 6:10 זְעוּמָֽה׃ accursed

Can I forget any longer, O house of the wicked, the treasures of wickedness and the short ephah, which is accursed?

Here: A passive form: "denounced", "cursed". The root means to rage at something or curse it, as Balaam was hired to "denounce" Israel (Numbers 23:7–8). The shrunken measure is under God's angry condemnation, which leads into the punishments of vv. 13–15.

Zechariah 1:12 זָעַ֔מְתָּה you have been indignant

Then the angel of the LORD said, “How long, O LORD of Hosts, will You withhold mercy from Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, with which You have been angry these seventy years?”

Here: "You have been indignant (against)." The word covers both settled anger and the active condemning that goes with it, as in Balaam's "denounce" (Num 23:7–8). The verb form looks back on the whole span of the anger, which is still going on.

Malachi 1:4 זָעַ֥ם he was indignant

Though Edom may say, “We have been devastated, but we will rebuild the ruins,” this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “They may build, but I will demolish. They will be called the Land of Wickedness, and a people with whom the LORD is indignant forever.

Here: "Has denounced / is indignant with." More than a feeling of anger: the word is used for formally denouncing or cursing someone (Num 23:7–8). The completed form describes a settled state.
