'Scorched' in the Bible
A path -- not known it hath a ravenous fowl, Nor scorched it hath an eye of the kite,
Doth a man walk on the hot coals, And are his feet not scorched?
Fear me not, because I am very dark, Because the sun hath scorched me, The sons of my mother were angry with me, They made me keeper of the vineyards, My vineyard -- my own -- I have not kept.
Lo, to the fire it hath been given for fuel, Its two ends hath the fire eaten, And its midst hath been scorched! Is it profitable for work?
Lo, in its being perfect it is not used for work, How much less, when fire hath eaten of it, And it is scorched, Hath it been used yet for work?
and the sun having risen they were scorched, and through not having root, they withered,
and the sun having risen, it was scorched, and because of not having root it did wither;
For ye came not near to the mount touched and scorched with fire, and to blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
and men were scorched with great heat, and they did speak evil of the name of God, who hath authority over these plagues, and they did not reform -- to give to Him glory.
