'Lays' in the Bible

When a man lays hold of his brother in his father’s house, saying,“You have a cloak, you shall be our ruler,And these ruins will be under your charge,”

Behold, the Lord lays the earth waste, devastates it, distorts its surface and scatters its inhabitants.

“For He has brought low those who dwell on high, the unassailable city;He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He casts it to the dust.
