ACAD – Remnant: 2 Kings 21
I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.

ACAD – In God’s Hands: Job 12
He makes nations great, then destroys them; he enlarges nations, then leads them away. He strips understanding from the leaders of the earth, and makes them wander in a pathless waste. They grope in the dark without light; he makes them stagger like a drunkard.
