  1. Zephaniah 2:15 לְשַׁמָּ֗ה le.sha.Mah · A person, place or thing

    This is the joyous city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none besides me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand.
