For LORD thy God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

And thou shall consume all the peoples that LORD thy God shall deliver to thee. Thine eye shall not pity them. Neither shall thou serve their gods, for that will be a snare to thee.

And the days in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we came over the brook Zered, were thirty-eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as LORD swore to them.

So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,

LORD will make the pestilence cling to thee, until he has consumed thee from off the land, where thou go in to possess it.

Thou shall carry much seed out into the field, and shall gather little in, for the locust shall consume it.

Now therefore why should we die? For this great fire will consume us. If we hear the voice of LORD our God any more, then we shall die.

And LORD thy God will cast out those nations before thee little by little. Thou may not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.

Moreover the hand of LORD was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
