'Devour' in the Bible
They have dealt treacherously against Jehovah; for they have borne strange children: now shall the new moon devour them with their fields.
They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.
For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and builded palaces; and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the castles thereof.
And the sword shall fall upon their cities, and shall consume their bars, and devour them , because of their own counsels.
I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart; and there will I devour them like a lioness; the wild beast shall tear them.
