spoil´ẽr ( השּׁדד , ha - shōdhēdh , "the spoiler"): A favorite expression of the prophet Jeremiah by which he describes generally the enemies that invade and devastate a country - with special reference to enemies that invade Judah ( Jeremiah 12:12; Jeremiah 15:8 ); to enemies who devastate Moab (Jeremiah 48:8 , Jeremiah 48:18 ); to enemies from the North who are to assail Babylon (Jeremiah 51:48 ), and in one case (Jeremiah 6:26 ) to Nebuchadrezzar making an irresistible advance upon Jerusalem. the American Standard Revised Version uniformly renders "destroyer."
