The devil is waiting for them, hell is gaping for them, the flames gather and flash about them, and would fain lay hold on them,

and swallow them up; the fire pent up in their own hearts is struggling to break out; and they have no interest in any Mediator, there are no means within reach that can be any security to them. In short, they have no refuge, nothing to take hold of. Which word has a similar connotation to the word “swallow” in this excerpt?

Answer:

A). Devour
