Lexicon :: Strong's H7857 - šāṭap̄

“A clay pot in which the sin offering is boiled is to be broken; if it is boiled in a bronze vessel, it is to be scoured and rinsed with water.

“If the man with the discharge touches anyone without first rinsing his hands in water, the person who was touched is to wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening.

Then someone washed the chariot at the pool of Samaria. The dogs licked up his blood, and the prostitutes bathed in it, according to the word of the LORD that he had spoken.

Many people gathered and stopped up all the springs and the stream that flowed through the land; they said, “Why should the kings of Assyria come and find abundant water? ”

as water wears away stones

and torrents wash away the soil from the land,

so you destroy a man’s hope.

I have sunk in deep mud, and there is no footing;

I have come into deep water,

and a flood sweeps over me.

Don’t let the floodwaters sweep over me

or the deep swallow me up;

don’t let the Pit close its mouth over me.

“Look! He struck the rock and water gushed out;

torrents overflowed.

But can he also provide bread

or furnish meat for his people? ”

Then the water would have engulfed us;

the torrent would have swept over us;

A huge torrent cannot extinguish love;

rivers cannot sweep it away.

If a man were to give all his wealth[fn] for love,

it would be utterly scorned.

It will pour into Judah,

flood over it, and sweep through,

reaching up to the neck;

and its flooded banks[fn]

will fill your entire land, Immanuel!

Israel, even if your people were as numerous

as the sand of the sea,

only a remnant of them will return.

Destruction has been decreed;

justice overflows.

Look, the Lord has a strong and mighty one —

like a devastating hail storm,

like a storm with strong flooding water.

He will bring it across the land with his hand.

For you said, “We have made a covenant with Death,

and we have an agreement with Sheol;

when the overwhelming catastrophe[fn] passes through,

it will not touch us,

because we have made falsehood our refuge

and have hidden behind treachery.”

“And I will make justice the measuring line

and righteousness the mason’s level.”

Hail will sweep away the false refuge,

and water will flood your hiding place.

His breath is like an overflowing torrent

that rises to the neck.

He comes to sift the nations in a sieve of destruction

and to put a bridle on the jaws of the peoples

to lead them astray.

“When you pass through the waters,

I will be with you,

and the rivers will not overwhelm you.

When you walk through the fire,

you will not be scorched,

and the flame will not burn you.

For this is what the LORD says:

I will make peace flow to her like a river,

and the wealth[fn] of nations like a flood;

you will nurse and be carried on her hip

and bounced on her lap.

“I have paid careful attention.

They do not speak what is right.

No one regrets his evil,

asking, ‘What have I done? ’

Everyone has stayed his course

like a horse rushing into battle.

This is what the LORD says:

Look, water is rising from the north

and becoming an overflowing wadi.

It will overflow the land and everything in it,

the cities and their inhabitants.

The people will cry out,

and every inhabitant of the land will wail.

therefore, tell those plastering it with whitewash that it will fall. Torrential rain will come, and I will send hailstones plunging[fn] down, and a whirlwind will be released.

“ ‘So this is what the Lord GOD says: I will release a whirlwind in my wrath. Torrential rain will come in my anger, and hailstones will fall in destructive fury.

“I washed you with water, rinsed off your blood, and anointed you with oil.

“I will execute judgment on him with plague and bloodshed. I will pour out torrential rain, hailstones, fire, and burning sulfur on him, as well as his troops and the many peoples who are with him.

“His sons will mobilize for war and assemble a large number of armed forces. They will advance, sweeping through like a flood,[fn] and will again wage war as far as his fortress.

“A flood of forces will be swept away before him; they will be broken, as well as the covenant prince.

“Those who eat his provisions will destroy him; his army will be swept away, and many will fall slain.

“At the time of the end, the king of the South will engage him in battle, but the king of the North will storm against him with chariots, horsemen, and many ships. He will invade countries and sweep through them like a flood.
