was ruined
To spoil, ruin, or corrupt something, particularly in the sense of rendering it unusable, marred, or destroyed; also, to act wickedly or bring moral corruption. The verb is used for both physical destruction (such as devastation of land, destruction of objects, or annihilation of beings) and non-physical ruin (moral corruption, perverting justice, or bringing about social decay). The term frequently appears in contexts of violence, judgment, or divine retribution, but can also refer to self-inflicted ruin or acts of moral distortion.
