'Finish' in the Bible
For this is what the Lord says:The whole land will be a desolation,but I will not finish it off.
Go up among her vineyard terraces and destroy them,but do not finish them off.Prune away her shoots,for they do not belong to the Lord.
“But even in those days”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“I will not finish you off.
If they fast, I will not hear their cry of despair. If they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I will not accept them. Rather, I will finish them off by sword, famine, and plague.”
I will devastate Elam before their enemies,before those who want to take their lives.I will bring disaster on them,My burning anger.This is the Lord’s declaration.I will send the sword after themuntil I finish them off.
