It conveys the idea of destruction or devastation, often in the context of divine judgment or calamity. Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁאָה (sha'ah), which means to lay waste or to ruin. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Strong's Greek entry that relates to the concept of ruin or desolation is G1869, ἐπαίρω (epairō), which means to lift up or to raise. While not a direct translation, the Greek term can be associated with the idea of being lifted up in pride, which often precedes a fall or ruin, aligning with the thematic elements of judgment and desolation found in מַשּׁוּאָה. Usage: The word מַשּׁוּאָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a condition of ruin or desolation, typically as a result of divine judgment or as a consequence of sin. It is often associated with the aftermath of war or disaster. Context: The Hebrew term מַשּׁוּאָה (mashshu'ah) appears in the context of describing a state of ruin or desolation. It is a noun that conveys the aftermath of destruction, often used in prophetic literature to depict the consequences of divine judgment upon nations or peoples who have turned away from God. The imagery associated with מַשּׁוּאָה is one of complete devastation, where once-thriving cities or lands are left in a state of waste and emptiness. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to illustrate the severity of God's judgment and the resulting desolation that follows. For example, in passages where the prophets speak of the impending doom upon Israel or surrounding nations, מַשּׁוּאָה is employed to emphasize the totality of the destruction that will occur as a result of their disobedience and idolatry. The concept of מַשּׁוּאָה serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of turning away from divine commandments and the inevitable ruin that follows such actions. It underscores the theme of accountability and the seriousness with which God views sin and rebellion.
