na.shat describes becoming dry, whether of water and a thirsting tongue or of strength that has failed.

The attested uses chiefly describe dryness or depletion in relation to water and thirst; a further use places the term in a clause about warriors whose strength has failed.

1. Drying up through lack of water · dominant

   In Isaiah 19:5, the sequential perfect form occurs as the river is said to dry up after the waters wither from the sea; the APB renders the clause “the river will dry up and be dry.” In Isaiah 41:17, the feminine singular perfect form stands in the thirst scene where the needy find no water and their tongue is dry; the APB renders “their tongue is dry with thirst.”

2. Strength brought to failure · occasional

   In Jeremiah 51:30, the feminine singular perfect form occurs in the report that Babylon's warriors have stopped fighting and sit in strongholds; the APB renders the following condition, “their strength has failed.” The verse is read as a whole, so the term's precise English contribution in this clause remains less certain.

   Jeremiah 51:30

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the water-and-thirst contexts with “dry up,” “be dry,” and “dry with thirst,” while Jeremiah 51:30 describes failed strength. Because the APB translates whole verses rather than aligning individual words, these renderings do not isolate the term in every clause.
