Berean Strong's Lexicon sho: Desolation, devastation, ruin Original Word: שׁוֹא Part of Speech: noun masculine; noun feminine Transliteration: sho Pronunciation: sho Phonetic Spelling: (sho) Definition: Desolation, devastation, ruin Meaning: a tempest, devastation Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2041 (ergon): While not a direct translation, this Greek word for "work" can sometimes relate to the outcomes or consequences of actions, similar to how "sho" relates to the consequences of sin. - G3639 (olethros): Meaning "destruction" or "ruin," this Greek term captures the essence of desolation akin to "sho." Usage: The Hebrew word "sho" is used to describe a state of desolation or ruin, often in the context of divine judgment or calamity. It conveys a sense of overwhelming destruction, typically as a result of God's wrath or as a consequence of sin. The term is used to depict both physical devastation and moral or spiritual desolation. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, desolation was a common theme in prophetic literature, often symbolizing the consequences of turning away from God. The Israelites understood desolation as a direct result of covenant unfaithfulness, where God would allow foreign nations to bring destruction as a form of divine discipline. This concept was deeply embedded in the covenantal relationship between God and His people, where blessings and curses were contingent upon obedience to God's laws.
