'Destroying' in the Bible

by faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that He who is destroying the first-born might not touch them.

and the nations were angry, and Thine anger did come, and the time of the dead, to be judged, and to give the reward to Thy servants, to the prophets, and to the saints, and to those fearing Thy name, to the small and to the great, and to destroy those who are destroying the land.'
