The other evidence supporting "consume" represents a grammatical correction to the more usual form of the verb. Although it is possible that the text reading was produced by copyists when they made the passage read like the similar passage in Isaiah 11:4 (which in the Greek Old Testament has "will kill"), it is also possible that the rare grammatical form of "will consume" was produced accidently through a mistake of the eyes or the ears.
