שָׁקַע in Scripture

Numbers 11:2 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched. Job 41:1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down? Jeremiah 51:64 And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah. Ezekiel 32:14 Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord GOD. Amos 8:8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt. Amos 9:5 And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
