scorched regions, drought-stricken places
This plural noun describes areas of extreme drought or scorched land. Isaiah 58:11 uses it in God's promise to satisfy His people's needs even in the driest places. The root connects to scorching heat and parched ground. The Spanish 'sequías' (droughts) and the broader context of divine provision in waterless places show this refers to regions where water is desperately scarce.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Scorched or drought-stricken regions where water is absent and the ground is parched. Isaiah 58:11 contains God's promise: 'He will satisfy your needs in scorched places,' assuring provision even in the most barren environments. This builds on the root idea of land dried by intense heat, emphasizing not just aridity but the burning, scorched quality of the terrain. 1×
