'Devoured' in the Bible
I have struck down your children in vain;they would not accept discipline.Your own sword has devoured your prophetslike a ravaging lion.
Nevertheless, all who devoured you will be devoured,and all your adversaries—all of them—will go off into exile.Those who plunder you will be plundered,and all who raid you will be raided.
All who found them devoured them.Their adversaries said, “We’re not guilty;instead, they have sinned against the Lord,their righteous grazing land,the hope of their ancestors, the Lord.”
Israel is a stray lamb, chased by lions.The first who devoured him was the king of Assyria;the last one who crushed his boneswas Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
“Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon has devoured me;he has crushed me.He has set me aside like an empty dish;he has swallowed me like a sea monster;he filled his belly with my delicacies;he has vomited me out,”
