Psalms 80:16
16They have aburned it with fire; they have bcut it down;may they perish at cthe rebuke of your face!
Isaiah 1:30-31
30For you shall be dlike an oakwhose leaf withers,
and like a garden without water.
31And the strong shall become etinder,
and his work a spark,
and both of them shall burn together,
with fnone to quench them.
Isaiah 27:11
11When its boughs are dry, they are broken;women come and make a fire of them.
gFor this is a people without discernment;
therefore he who made them will not have compassion on them;
he who formed them will show them no favor.
Ezekiel 15:4-7
4 hBehold, it is given to the fire for fuel. When the fire has consumed both ends of it, and the middle of it is charred, is it useful for anything? 5 iBehold, when it was whole, it was used for nothing. How much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it ever be used for anything! 6Therefore thus says the Lord God: jLike the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, kwhich I have given to the fire for fuel, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 7 lAnd I will set my face against them. Though mthey escape from the fire, the fire shall yet consume them, nand you will know that I am the Lord, owhen I set my face against them.Ezekiel 20:47-48
47Say to the forest of the Negeb, Hear the word of the Lord: Thus says the Lord God, Behold, pI will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every qgreen tree in you and every rdry tree. The blazing flame shall not be quenched, and sall faces from south to north shall be scorched by it. 48 tAll flesh shall see that I the Lord have kindled it; it shall not be quenched.”Matthew 3:10
10Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. uEvery tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
