It is used in contexts where something is laid waste or brought to ruin, often as a result of divine judgment or military conquest. The term can imply both physical destruction and metaphorical devastation, such as the ruin of a nation or the downfall of the wicked.<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 or the consequences of moral and spiritual failure. The Israelites understood that their covenant relationship with God included blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience, which often manifested in the form of national calamities or personal ruin. The use of "shud" in the Hebrew Bible reflects this theological framework, where destruction serves as both a warning and a call to repentance.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>see <a href="/hebrew/7703.htm">shadad</a>. shod<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>see NH7699b, NH7701.<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>waste <p>A primitive root; properly, to swell up, i.e. Figuratively (by implication of insolence) to devastate -- waste. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>יָשׁ֥וּד ישוד yā·šūḏ yaShud yāšūḏ<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/psalms/91-6.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Psalm 91:6</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/psalms/91.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">יַהֲלֹ֑ךְ מִ֝קֶּ֗טֶב <b> יָשׁ֥וּד </b> צָהֳרָֽיִם׃ </span><br><a href="/kjvs/psalms/91.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> [nor] for the destruction <span class="itali">[that] wasteth</span> at noonday.<br><a href="/interlinear/psalms/91-6.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> stalks of the destruction <span class="itali">wasteth</span> noon<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7736.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7736.htm">Strong's Hebrew 7736<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/yashud_7736.htm">yā·šūḏ — 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/7735.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="7735"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="7735" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/7737.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="7737"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="7737" /></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>
