'Destructive' in the Bible

“Is there injustice or malice on my tongue?Can my palate not discern what is destructive?

He holds back his soul from the pit [of destruction],And his life from passing over into Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead).

“But if they do not hear and obey, they will die by the sword [of God’s destructive judgments]And they will die [in ignorance] without [true] knowledge.
