In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: The prophets use it the same way: God was "sore displeased" and the famine "sore" in Samaria. It can also mean "very much", as in "afflict us very sore". In the primary lessons: In health lessons, a sore throat often comes with a cold; sore muscles come after exercise; a sore that does not heal should be shown to a doctor. In everyday talk, "a sight for sore eyes" is someone you are very happy to see. Phrases: sore throat, sore eyes, sore muscles, a cold sore, a sore loser (someone who is angry when they lose), stick out like a sore thumb.
