4 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “being” →
And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.
The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD , or being his counsellor hath taught him?
There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.
