In first aid, cool a burn with water to ease pain. Phrases: «in pain», «a pain in the neck» (annoying), «growing pains», «no pain, no gain» (hard work brings results), «pain-free». ### examples - And the LORD said: 'I have surely seen the affliction of My people that are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their pains; (Torah EXO.3.7, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/P/pain/#x1) - Unto the woman He said: 'I will greatly multiply thy pain and thy travail; in pain thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.'
