In the other Testament 1 word

ἐκλείπω ekleípō · G1587 · to give out, to fail, to depart out of: Greek ἐκλείπω emphasizes cessation or failing (to omit, cease, die) as a process coming to an end, while Hebrew סוּף focuses on complete consumption or destruction (consume, perish, be utterly finished); both denote termination but from complementary aspectual angles—Greek highlighting the fading/ceasing motion, Hebrew the thoroughness of the end state.
