It often conveys the idea of a place that has been laid waste, either through divine judgment or as a result of warfare and destruction. The word emphasizes the complete and utter devastation of a location, leaving it uninhabitable and barren.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, desolation was a common theme in prophetic literature, often used to describe the consequences of turning away from God. The imagery of desolation served as a powerful warning to the Israelites, reminding them of the covenantal blessings and curses outlined in the Torah. The concept of desolation was not only physical but also spiritual, symbolizing the absence of God's presence and favor.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7582.htm">shaah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a ruin<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>ruins (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">שְׁאִיָּה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>ruin</b></font>; — <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/24-12.htm">Isaiah 24:12</a> (late). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>destruction <p>From <a href="/hebrew/7582.htm">sha'ah</a>; desolation -- destruction. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/7582.htm">sha'ah</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>וּשְׁאִיָּ֖ה ושאיה ū·šə·’î·yāh ūšə’îyāh usheiYah<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/isaiah/24-12.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Isaiah 24:12</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/24.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">בָּעִ֖יר שַׁמָּ֑ה <b> וּשְׁאִיָּ֖ה </b> יֻכַּת־ שָֽׁעַר׃</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/isaiah/24.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> And the gate is battered <span class="itali">to ruins.</span><br><a href="/kjvs/isaiah/24.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> is smitten <span class="itali">with destruction.</span><br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/24-12.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> the city Desolation <span class="itali">to ruins</span> is battered and the gate<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7591.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7591.htm">Strong's Hebrew 7591<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/usheiyah_7591.htm">ū·šə·’î·yāh — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/7590.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="7590"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="7590" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/7592.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="7592"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="7592" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
