and will devour
To eat, consume, or devour, both in the literal sense of ingesting food and in figurative senses such as consuming, destroying, or eroding. In Aramaic biblical texts, it most often refers to the physical act of eating, but is also used metaphorically for destruction or accusation—as when harm or injustice 'devours' someone or when accusations 'consume' one's standing.
