'Ruin' in the Bible
For the Lord knows and fully approves the way of the righteous,But the way of the wicked shall perish.
The cords of death surrounded me,And the streams of ungodliness and torrents of destruction terrified me.
Destruction is within her;Oppression and deceit do not depart from her streets and market places.
But those who seek my life to destroy itWill [be destroyed and] go into the depths of the earth [into the underworld].
Surely You set the wicked-minded and immoral on slippery places;You cast them down to destruction.
Will Your lovingkindness be declared in the graveOr Your faithfulness in Abaddon (the underworld)?
You have broken down all his [city] walls;You have brought his strongholds to ruin.
The Lord protects the strangers;He supports the fatherless and the widow;But He makes crooked the way of the wicked.
