## In Jewish tradition

In these verses it means loud, wild joy, which can be wrong when it is not rooted in faithfulness to God.

**Interpretation.** Hosea warns Israel not to rejoice like the idol-worshiping nations. Job speaks of those who long for death with a gladness that is the opposite of true joy.

### Examples

- Who rejoice unto exultation, and are glad, when they can find the grave? — (Writings JOB.3.22, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/E/exultation/#x1)
- Rejoice not, O Israel, unto exultation, like the peoples, for thou hast gone astray from thy God, thou hast loved a harlot's hire upon every corn-floor. (Prophets HOS.9.1, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/E/exultation/#x2)
