kon -su -mā´shun ( כּלּיון , killāyōn from כּלה , kālāh ): The word, meaning destruction, completion, or failing (Isaiah 10:23; Isaiah 28:22; Daniel 9:27 ) is translated interchangeably in the King James Version for another Hebrew word referring to a physical disease, and best translated "consumption"; compare Leviticus 26:16; Deuteronomy 28:22 . Not used in the Revised Version (British and American). The Hebrew variously but more accurately translated "full end"; compare Daniel 9:27; Isaiah 10:23; and "destruction"; compare Isaiah 10:22; Isaiah 28:22 . There seems therefore to be an inconsistency on the part of both the Authorized and Revised translations.
