SPOILER

spoil'-er (ha-shodhedh, "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 (48:8, 18); to enemies from the North who are to assail Babylon (51:48), and in one case (6:26) to Nebuchadrezzar making an irresistible advance upon Jerusalem. the American Standard Revised Version uniformly renders "destroyer."
