empty, void, and waste; empty and void

Total disorder. Great confusion and even bewilderment (buka means ruin, mevuka means destruction, mevulaka means desolation).

("Empty and void and waste, and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain is in all loins" - Nahum 2:11; and also: "And now that the pasha's hands were empty of money, his spirit was 'empty and void and waste'" - Y. Burla / Longings, 30; and: "And houses of stone fell...and everywhere empty and void, lament, wailing, and sigh" - Chaim Sabato / Truth Shall Spring from the Earth, Chemed, 43)
