'Strength' in the Bible

Say, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Will it thrive? Will he not pull up its roots and cut off its fruit, so that it withers—so that all its sprouting leaves wither? And neither by great strength nor by many people can it be raised from its roots again.

They also went down with it to Sheol to those who were slain by the sword; and those who were its strength lived under its shade among the nations.
