they-will-be-consumed

To bring to completion or fulfillment; to finish, come to an end, or consume. The root כָּלָה expresses the reaching or accomplishing of a limit or an intended purpose, and hence also ending, ceasing, or perishing. Intransitively, it refers to being completed, finished, or exhausted; transitively, to completing, bringing to an end, consuming, or destroying. It can also carry the sense of longing or pining away, as of a soul reaching its limit. The word's semantic range thus includes both neutral senses of completion and negative senses of complete destruction or consumption.
