- the consumption:
- "Then saidª° I, Lord,ª how long?¹¹ And he answered,ª° Until¹¹ the citiesª be wastedª° without¹¹ inhabitant,ª° and the housesª without¹¹ man,ª and the landª be utterlyª desolate,ª°" {Isa 6:11} + "And he shall passª° through Judah;ª he shall overflowª° and go over,ª° he shall reachª° [even] to¹ the neck;ª and the stretching outª of his wingsª shall fillª the breadthª of thy land,ª O Immanuel.ª²" {Isa 8:8} + "Yet¹ the defencedª° cityª [shall be] desolate,ª [and] the habitationª forsaken,ª° and leftª° like a wilderness:ª there¹ shall the calfª feed,ª° and there¹ shall he lie down,ª° and consumeª° the branchesª thereof. ... When the boughsª thereof are withered,ª° they shall be broken off:ª° the womenª come,ª° [and] set them on fire:ª°¹ for¹ it [is] a peopleª of no¹ understanding:ª therefore¹¹ he¹ that madeª° them will not¹ have mercyª° on them, and he that formedª° them will shew them no favour.ª°¹" {Isa 27:10-11} + "Because¹ ye have said,ª° We have madeª° a covenantª with¹ death,ª and with¹ hellª are we²° at¹ agreement;ª when¹ the overflowingª° scourgeª°² shall pass through,ª°°° it shall not¹ comeª° unto us: for¹ we have madeª° liesª our refuge,ª and under falsehoodª have we hid²° ourselves:¹ ... Now¹ therefore be ye not mockers,ª°¹ lest¹ your bandsª be made strong:ª° for¹ I have heardª° from¹¹ the Lordª GODª of hostsª a consumption,ª even determinedª° upon¹ the whole¹ earth.ª" {Isa 28:15-22} + "And he shall confirmª° the covenantª with manyª for oneª week:ª and in the midstª of the weekª he shall cause the sacrificeª and the oblationª to cease,ª° and for¹ the overspreadingª of abominationsª he shall make [it] desolate,ª° even until¹ the consummation,ª and that determinedª° shall be pouredª° upon¹ the desolate.²°¹" {Dan 9:27} + "Forª he will finishª° the work,ª andª cut [it] shortª° inª righteousness:ª becauseª a shortª° workª will²° the Lordª makeª° uponª the¹ earth.ª" {Rom 9:28}
