'Verge' in the Bible

I am oppressed and have been on the verge of death since my youth. I have been subjected to your horrors and am numb with pain.

I am on the verge of complete ruinbefore the entire community.”

Speak for those who cannot speak; seek justice for all those on the verge of destruction.

King Hezekiah and all the people of Judah did not put him to death, did they? Did not Hezekiah show reverence for the Lord and seek the Lord's favor? Did not the Lord forgo destroying them as he threatened he would? But we are on the verge of bringing great disaster on ourselves."

And the decree was issued, and the wise men {were on the verge of being executed}, and they searched for Daniel and his companions to be executed.

So not only do we run a risk that our business may be discredited, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis may be despised and her magnificence come to the verge of ruin—the very one all of Asia and the world adore.”
