Through most of history, it has meant “to consume utterly.” This, for example is the meaning when the Doctrine & Covenants says that were it not for the sealing of families through temple blessings, the earth would be utterly wasted at Christ’s coming.

Here, the speaker seems to be saying, Wo unto the man who sins and remains in sin when he has completely consumed his time on earth.
