To come to an end, cease, perish, be swept away; causatively, to bring to an end, consume, or sweep away in divine judgment
A verb of termination and destruction. The Qal describes things or people ceasing to exist — the wicked are 'swept away by terrors' (Ps 73:19), houses of ivory 'come to an end' (Amos 3:15), and the memory of Purim 'shall not cease' from among the Jews (Esth 9:28). The Hiphil turns this into active divine judgment: God declares 'I will utterly consume' (Zeph 1:2) and 'I will gather them for destruction' (Jer 8:13). Spanish distinguishes 'fueron arrebatados' (were swept away) from 'los consumiré' (I will consume them), neatly tracking the Qal-Hiphil split.
2. bring to an end, consume, sweep away (Hifil) — Hiphil causative forms meaning 'to bring to an end, consume, sweep away' as an act of divine judgment. In Zeph 1:2 God announces 'I will utterly consume everything from the face of the earth,' and in Jer 8:13 'I will gather/consume them.' Spanish 'los consumiré' (I will consume them) and 'quitaré' (I will remove) both convey the active, judgment-bearing force of the causative stem, distinguishing it from the passive perishing of the Qal. 2×
