is consumed
To bring to completion or fulfillment; to finish, come to an end, or consume. The root כָּלָה expresses the reaching or accomplishing of a limit or an intended purpose, and hence also ending, ceasing, or perishing. Intransitively, it refers to being completed, finished, or exhausted; transitively, to completing, bringing to an end, consuming, or destroying. It can also carry the sense of longing or pining away, as of a soul reaching its limit. The word's semantic range thus includes both neutral senses of completion and negative senses of complete destruction or consumption.

SIBI-P1 Translation H3615-81
may he come to an end
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, jussive conjugation, 3rd person masculine singular; expresses a wish or volition concerning a single male subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple action of reaching completion or cessation, and the 3rd masculine singular jussive conveys a volitional nuance: "may he" or "let him." "Come to an end" preserves the root sense of reaching a limit without imposing a strictly passive or transitive reading. |
