bel´ōz , bel´us : The word occurs once only in English Versions of the Bible, in Jeremiah 6:29 , where the prophet is predicting the coming of the destroyer (Jeremiah 6:26 ), "a great nation" from "the north country" (Jeremiah 6:22 ), down upon Israel, because "all of them deal corruptly" (Jeremiah 6:28 ). "The bellows blow fiercely; the leads is of the fire." Here the imagery is drawn from the refiner's art, and the "bellows" are those used to make the refiner's fires burn fiercely. See CRAFTS , II, 10.
