'Scourge' in the Bible
“You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue,And you will not be afraid of violence when it comes.
“If the scourge kills suddenly,He mocks the despair of the innocent.
The Lord of hosts will arouse a scourge against him like the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb; and His staff will be over the sea and He will lift it up the way He did in Egypt.
Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,And with Sheol we have made a pact.The overwhelming scourge will not reach us when it passes by,For we have made falsehood our refuge and we have concealed ourselves with deception.”
“Your covenant with death will be canceled,And your pact with Sheol will not stand;When the overwhelming scourge passes through,Then you become its trampling place.
