'Ceases' in the Bible

For lack of wood the fire goes out,And where there is no whisperer [who gossips], contention quiets down.

Earnestly remember your Creator before the silver cord [of life] is broken, or the golden bowl is crushed, or the pitcher at the fountain is shattered and the wheel at the cistern is crushed;

The highways are deserted, the traveler has ceased [to appear].The enemy has broken the covenant, he has rejected the cities,He has no regard for [any] man.

They are all adulterers;Like the heat of an ovenWhen the baker ceases to stir the fire, [their passion smolders]From the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.
