In the context of the Bible, the term "littered" is not directly used in the Berean Standard Bible or other traditional translations. However, the concept of being "littered" or "strewn" with objects, particularly in terms of disorder or abundance, can be inferred from various passages that describe scenes of destruction, desolation, or abundance.

Destruction and Desolation

The imagery of a land or city being littered with debris or ruins is often used in prophetic literature to describe the aftermath of divine judgment. For instance, in the book of Jeremiah, the prophet speaks of the desolation that will come upon the land due to the people's disobedience. Jeremiah 9:11 states, "I will make Jerusalem a heap of rubble, a haunt of jackals; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant." Here, the idea of a place being "littered" with ruins and devoid of life is evident.

Similarly, in the book of Isaiah, the prophet describes the judgment upon Babylon, saying, "Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms, the glory of the pride of the Chaldeans, will be overthrown by God like Sodom and Gomorrah. She will never be inhabited or settled from generation to generation" (Isaiah 13:19-20). The imagery suggests a land littered with the remnants of its former glory, now abandoned and desolate.

Abundance and Provision

Conversely, the concept of being "littered" can also imply abundance and provision. In the context of God's blessings, the land of Israel is often described as overflowing with resources. Deuteronomy 8:7-9 describes the Promised Land as "a land with streams and springs and fountains, flowing out in the valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey." This depiction suggests a land littered with the bounty of God's provision, emphasizing His generosity and care for His people.

Moral and Spiritual Implications

The imagery of being littered with either destruction or abundance carries moral and spiritual implications. In the case of destruction, it serves as a warning against disobedience and idolatry, highlighting the consequences of turning away from God. The prophets often used such imagery to call the people to repentance and to remind them of the seriousness of their covenant with God.

In terms of abundance, the imagery underscores the blessings that come from obedience and faithfulness to God. It serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness to His promises and His desire to provide for His people when they walk in His ways.

Conclusion

While the term "littered" itself may not appear in the biblical text, the concept is woven throughout Scripture in both negative and positive contexts. Whether describing the aftermath of judgment or the abundance of God's blessings, the imagery serves to communicate deeper spiritual truths about the nature of God's relationship with His people.(imp. & p. p.) of Litter.
