'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.

Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
