'Stop' in the Bible

Then our enemies said, "They will not know nor see until we come upon them and will kill them and stop the work."

Also, I and my brothers and my servants are lending them money and grain. Please stop [taking] this interest.

So I sent messengers to them, saying, "I am doing a great work and I am not able to come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you all?"
