'Destroy' in the Bible

So the four angels, who had been prepared for the [appointed] hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind.

And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
