'Stubble' in the Bible

So the people scattered through all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.

“The arrow cannot make him flee;Slingstones are turned into stubble for him.

“Clubs are regarded as stubble;He laughs at the rattling of the javelin.

Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes stubbleAnd dry grass collapses into the flame,So their root will become like rot and their blossom blow away as dust;For they have rejected the law of the Lord of hostsAnd despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

“You have conceived chaff, you will give birth to stubble;My breath will consume you like a fire.

Scarcely have they been planted,Scarcely have they been sown,Scarcely has their stock taken root in the earth,But He merely blows on them, and they wither,And the storm carries them away like stubble.

“Behold, they have become like stubble,Fire burns them;They cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame;There will be no coal to warm byNor a fire to sit before!

With a noise as of chariotsThey leap on the tops of the mountains,Like the crackling of a flame of fire consuming the stubble,Like a mighty people arranged for battle.

“Then the house of Jacob will be a fireAnd the house of Joseph a flame;But the house of Esau will be as stubble.And they will set them on fire and consume them,So that there will be no survivor of the house of Esau,”For the Lord has spoken.

Like tangled thorns,And like those who are drunken with their drink,They are consumedAs stubble completely withered.
