one lying desolate

Root	שׁמם (š-m-m)
Core Meanings	to be desolated, to be devastated, to be appalled, to be stunned into ruinous silence
Semantic Range	to be devastated, to lie waste, to be appalled or stunned, to be left deserted, to become desolate
Conceptual Significance	This term often describes cities, lands, or peoples under divine judgment, portraying not merely physical ruin but a stunned, emptied condition before YHWH’s acts. It conveys both outward devastation and inward shock, underscoring the covenantal consequences of rebellion and the sobering weight of divine judgment.
Morphological Notes	Verb, Qal stem, participle, masculine singular absolute. The Qal stem here is stative/intransitive, describing a subject in a condition of devastation or appalled ruin.
Rendering Rationale	The Qal participle masculine singular form denotes a male or grammatically masculine subject in a state of desolation. "One lying desolate" preserves the intransitive, stative force of the Qal stem and reflects the participial sense of ongoing condition rather than completed action.
