Thematic Bible: For fuel
Thematic Bible
Thorn » Used » For fuel
they were extinguished like a fire among thorns;
in the name of Yahweh I destroyed them.
so is the laughter of the fool.
This too is futile.
whether green or burning—
He will sweep them away.
Trees » Were cut down » For fuel
Even now the ax is ready to strike the root of the trees! Therefore, every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
He cuts down cedars for his use, or he takes a cypress or an oak. He lets it grow strong among the trees of the forest. He plants a laurel, and the rain makes it grow. It serves as fuel for man. He takes some of it and warms himself; also he kindles a fire and bakes bread; he even makes it into a god and worships it; he makes it an idol and bows down to it. He burns half of it in a fire, and he roasts meat on that half. He eats the roast and is satisfied. He warms himself and says, "Ah! I am warm, I see the blaze."
