It conveys the idea of something being cut off or brought to an end, typically as a result of God's righteous judgment against sin or disobedience.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of destruction was often associated with divine retribution. The Israelites understood calamities and destruction as manifestations of God's displeasure with their actions, particularly when they strayed from His commandments. The use of "qoteb" in the Hebrew Bible reflects this understanding, emphasizing the seriousness of sin and the consequences that follow.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>the same as <a href="/hebrew/6986.htm">qeteb</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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>destruction <p>From the same as <a href="/hebrew/6986.htm">qeteb</a>; extermination -- destruction. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/6986.htm">qeteb</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>קָֽטָבְךָ֙ קטבך kataveCha qā·ṭā·ḇə·ḵā qāṭāḇəḵā<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/hosea/13-14.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Hosea 13:14</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/hosea/13.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">מָ֗וֶת אֱהִ֤י <b> קָֽטָבְךָ֙ </b> שְׁא֔וֹל נֹ֖חַם</span><br><a href="/kjvs/hosea/13.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> I will <span class="itali">be thy destruction:</span> repentance<br><a href="/interlinear/hosea/13-14.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> death where <span class="itali">destruction</span> grave repentance<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6987.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6987.htm">Strong's Hebrew 6987<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/katavecha_6987.htm">qā·ṭā·ḇə·ḵā — 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/6986.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="6986"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="6986" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/6988.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="6988"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="6988" /></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>
