Isa. xiv. 23.
2. To drive or carry along or off with a broom or a brush, or as if
with a broom; to remove by, or as if by, brushing; as, to sweep dirt
from a floor; the wind sweeps the snow from the hills; a freshet sweeps
away a dam, timber, or rubbish; a pestilence sweeps off multitudes.
The hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies.
Isa. xxviii. 17.
