'Sweeps' in the Bible
Because of all this, I am about to bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam:I will eliminate all of Jeroboam’s males,both slave and free, in Israel;I will sweep away the house of Jeroboamas one sweeps away dung until it is all gone!
Are they like straw before the wind,like chaff a storm sweeps away?
Terrors overtake him like a flood;a storm wind sweeps him away at night.
I have sunk in deep mud, and there is no footing;I have come into deep waters,and a flood sweeps over me.
The violence of the wicked sweeps them awaybecause they refuse to act justly.
The mountains see You and shudder;a downpour of water sweeps by.The deep roars with its voiceand lifts its waves high.
