Wayne, I would agree that "my soul is swallowed up by sorrow" is not an
English idiom but I can certainly understand it. Is it the same Greek
verb as in 1 Corinthians 15 where Paul writes "death is swallowed up in
victory"? The meaning of that sentence is clear, too, but I wouldn't
call it an idiom any more than I would call the first one an idiom.
