Summary/Abstract: Three of the major prophets, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Daniel and two “minor” prophets, Jonah and Malachi have been under scrutiny regarding their employment of adverbs to support their message. Even though numerically they are not a noteworthy part of the text, adverbs still perform several significant feats such as actions and events arrangement, maintenance of the cohesion of the text, reinforcement of utterances, etc. Style and context extensively influences not only the frequency of adverb occurrences, but especially their semantic implications and lexical form.
