3 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “desolate” →
And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy sins.
Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
