impoverished And Israel was greatly {impoverished} because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD. impoverished He that [is] so {impoverished} that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree [that] will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, [that] shall not be moved. impoverished Whereas Edom saith, We are {impoverished}, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever. ~~~~~~
