'Devouring' in the Bible

Our God is coming; He will not be silent!Devouring fire precedes Him,and a storm rages around Him.

There is a generation whose teeth are swords,whose fangs are knives,devouring the oppressed from the landand the needy from among mankind.

“Then I wanted to know the true meaning of the fourth beast, the one different from all the others, extremely terrifying, with iron teeth and bronze claws, devouring, crushing, and trampling with its feet whatever was left.

What the devouring locust has left,the swarming locust has eaten;what the swarming locust has left,the young locust has eaten;and what the young locust has left,the destroying locust has eaten.

I will repay you for the yearsthat the swarming locust ate,the young locust, the destroying locust,and the devouring locust—My great army that I sent against you.
