'Desolation' in the Bible

Watch out! The Day of the LORD is coming cruel, with wrath and fierce anger to turn the entire inhabited earth into a desolation and to annihilate sinners from it.

"At that time, their fortified cities that they abandoned because of the Israelis will be like desolate places of the forests and hilltops there will be desolation.

Desolation remains in the city whose gates lie battered into ruins.

Your holy cities have become a desert; Zion has become like a desert, Jerusalem a desolation.
