'Swallowing' in the Bible

and now, send hastily, and declare to David, saying, Lodge not to-night in the plains of the wilderness, and also, certainly pass over, lest there be a swallowing up of the king and of all the people who are with him.'

therefore, prophesy, and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because, even because, of desolating, And of swallowing you up from round about, For your being a possession to the remnant of the nations, And ye are taken up on the tip of the tongue, And are an evil report of the people.

Hear this, ye who are swallowing up the needy, To cause to cease the poor of the land,

Wholly for violence it doth come in, Their faces swallowing up the east wind, And it doth gather as the sand a captivity.
