'Devouring' in the Bible

Thou hast loved all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

By Jehovah of Hosts thou art inspected, With thunder, and with an earthquake, And great noise, hurricane, and whirlwind, And flame of devouring fire.

Lo, the name of Jehovah is coming from far, Burning is His anger, and great the flame, His lips have been full of indignation, And His tongue is as a devouring fire.

As the noise of chariots, on the tops of the mountains they skip, As the noise of a flame of fire devouring stubble, As a mighty people set in array for battle.

who are devouring the widows' houses, and for a pretence are making long prayers; these shall receive more abundant judgment.'
