From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary : [ easton ]


  Cockle
     occurs only in Job 31:40 (marg., "noisome weeds"), where it is
     the rendering of a Hebrew word (b'oshah) which means
     "offensive," "having a bad smell," referring to some weed
     perhaps which has an unpleasant odour. Or it may be regarded as
     simply any noisome weed, such as the "tares" or darnel of Matt.
     13:30. In Isa. 5:2, 4 the plural form is rendered "wild grapes."
