The seat of the carnal affections (Titus 1:12; Phil. 3:19; Rom. 16:18). The word is used symbolically for the heart (Prov. 18:8; 20:27; 22:18, marg.). The “belly of hell” signifies the grave or underworld (Jonah 2:2).
Belly
Hunger is only part of what the Bible means by the belly; the word reaches the whole inner person. Eliphaz asks whether a wise man should “fill his belly with the east wind” (Job 15:2), meaning empty talk. Proverbs says “the spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.” Habakkuk hears God and his belly trembles. In the fourth Gospel, Jesus says of anyone who believes that “out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water” (John 7:38). Paul quotes a Cretan poet’s sharp joke about “slow bellies.” Proverbs 20:27 is a quiet place to start.
