It often conveys the idea of something being laid waste or ruined, either physically or morally. The word can be used to describe the devastation of cities, the moral decay of individuals or societies, or the ultimate ruin that comes as a consequence of sin.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of destruction was often associated with divine judgment. The Israelites understood that their covenant relationship with God included blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience, which often manifested as destruction or ruin. This understanding is reflected in the use of "shachis" or "sachish" in the Hebrew Scriptures, where it frequently appears in prophetic literature warning of impending judgment.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>the same as <a href="/hebrew/5501b.htm">sachish</a>, q.v.<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">סָחִישׁ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>grain that shoots up of itself in 2nd year</b></font> (√ unknown);
