### Core Meaning & Semantic Range
The Hebrew word **qîyqâlôwn**, represented by `{{H7022}}`, denotes **intense disgrace** or **shameful spewing**. It is derived from the word for shame, `{{H7036}}` qâlôwn, and appears only **1 time** in the Bible. Its singular use provides a potent and graphic image of utter humiliation resulting from divine judgment.
### Biblical Occurrences & Contextual Analysis
The sole appearance of `{{H7022}}` is in Habakkuk's prophecy against the prideful. The verse describes a state of being filled with shame instead of glory, culminating in a divine reversal. The "cup of the LORD'S right hand" is turned against the proud, resulting in **shameful spewing** being poured upon their glory [[Habakkuk 2:16]]. This context establishes `{{H7022}}` as the ultimate consequence of arrogance—a complete and debasing dishonor administered directly by God.
### Related Words & Concepts
Several related words from its context illuminate the meaning of `{{H7022}}`:
* `{{H7036}}` **qâlôwn** (disgrace; ... shame): As the root word, it establishes the foundation of dishonor. In [[Habakkuk 2:16]], being filled with **shame** precedes the more intense state of "shameful spewing."
* `{{H3519}}` **kâbôwd** (splendor or copiousness; glorious(-ly), glory, honour(-able)): This word stands in direct opposition to `{{H7022}}`. In [[Habakkuk 2:16]], the exchange of **glory** for shame is central, and the "shameful spewing" ultimately lands upon this very **glory**, defiling it.
* `{{H3563}}` **kôwç** (a cup ... often figuratively, a lot): This is the instrument of judgment. The LORD's **cup**, which can be one of salvation [[Psalms 116:13]], becomes a vessel of fury that brings about the state of disgrace [[Habakkuk 2:16]].
* `{{H5437}}` **çâbab** (to revolve, surround, or border): This verb describes the action of God's judgment, as the cup of His right hand **shall be turned** unto the one judged [[Habakkuk 2:16]], ensuring the consequence is inescapable.
### Theological Significance
The theological weight of `{{H7022}}` is concentrated in its single, powerful usage.
* **The Reversal of Pride:** The word epitomizes the principle that God opposes the proud. It is the end state for one who is "filled with shame for glory" [[Habakkuk 2:16]], illustrating the biblical theme that glory sought apart from God is inverted into profound dishonor.
* **The Cup of Judgment:** `{{H7022}}` is the direct result of drinking from the "cup of the LORD'S right hand" [[Habakkuk 2:16]]. This links the visceral image of "shameful spewing" to the well-established biblical metaphor of the cup representing God's wrath poured out on the wicked [[Psalms 75:8]].
* **The Consequence of Sin:** The disgrace is a consequence of action, symbolized by the command to "drink thou also" [[Habakkuk 2:16]]. This act of partaking in what is shameful leads to being "filled" `{{H7646}}` with shame and ultimately experiencing its vilest expression in `{{H7022}}`.
### Summary
In summary, `{{H7022}}` is a uniquely graphic term in the biblical vocabulary. Though used only once, **qîyqâlôwn** powerfully conveys the concept of "shameful spewing" as the ultimate end of pride. It exists within a web of related terms—shame `{{H7036}}`, glory `{{H3519}}`, and the cup of judgment `{{H3563}}`—to paint a vivid picture of divine retribution in [[Habakkuk 2:16]]. Its singular appearance serves as a stark warning about the consequences of exalting oneself against God.
