your ruin, your destroyed land
A noun denoting overthrow, destruction, or ruin, used in construct form with 'land.' Isaiah employs this in God's promise to restore Zion, referring to 'the land of your ruin' — the homeland that had been devastated. The term emphasizes the land's state of destruction from which God promises to bring renewal and repopulation.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Translations render this as 'destruction' (English, Spanish 'destrucción') with second-person feminine suffix ('your'). The parallel terms 'your waste places' and 'your desolations' reinforce the theme of devastation. Isaiah 49:19 uses this in promising that even Zion's ruined land will become too small for its returning inhabitants, transforming disaster into overcrowding from blessing. 1×
