'Devour' in the Bible

'The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the heaven did devour it.

but when thy son -- this one who did devour thy living with harlots -- came, thou didst kill to him the fatted calf.

who devour the houses of the widows, and for a pretence make long prayers, these shall receive more abundant judgment.'
