Ruin. [1]
The words used in the Hebrew thus rendered in the A.V. are very expressive. The ruin of a city by dilapidation, separating all its stones: Isaiah 25:2, "Thou hast made of a fenced city a ruin" (or Separation ,
מִפֵּלָה ; so of a country, Isaiah 23:13; מִפָּלָה , Isaiah 17:1; מִפֶּלֶת Ezekiel 13:13; Ezekiel 27:27). Ruin of strongholds by breaking them up: Psalms 89:40, "Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin" (i.e. to a Breaking , מִחְתָּה ). This word elsewhere means terror, and expresses the alarm attendant on the taking of a fortified place. Demolished structures: Ezekiel 36:35-36 (the root is הָרִס , to Tear Down , as in Amos 9:11; like Κατασκάπτω , Acts 15:16; but in Luke 6:49, it is Ῥῆγμα , a Tearing ) .
Figuratively, ruin, a fall, or stumbling, from some cause of, or temptation to, sin: 2 Chronicles 28:23, "They [the gods of Damascus] were the ruin ( מִכַשֵׁלָה , a Stumbling - Block ) of him [Ahaz] and of all Israel;" so מַכַשׁוֹל , Ezekiel 18:30; Ezekiel 21:15. Ruin, destruction: Proverbs 24:22, "Their calamity shall rise suddenly; who knoweth the ruin ( פַּיד , Destruction ) of them both?" Ruin, a cause for repentance: 26:28, "A flattering mouth worketh ruin" ( מַדְחֶה , Contrition or repentance).
