'Smoke' in the Bible
then the Lord will create over the whole area of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud by day, even smoke, and the brightness of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory will be a canopy.
And the foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, while the temple was filling with smoke.
For wickedness burns like a fire;It consumes briars and thorns;It even sets the thickets of the forest aflameAnd they roll upward in a column of smoke.
“Wail, O gate; cry, O city;Melt away, O Philistia, all of you;For smoke comes from the north,And there is no straggler in his ranks.
Behold, the name of the Lord comes from a remote place;Burning is His anger and dense is His smoke;His lips are filled with indignationAnd His tongue is like a consuming fire;
It will not be quenched night or day;Its smoke will go up forever.From generation to generation it will be desolate;None will pass through it forever and ever.
“Lift up your eyes to the sky,Then look to the earth beneath;For the sky will vanish like smoke,And the earth will wear out like a garmentAnd its inhabitants will die in like manner;But My salvation will be forever,And My righteousness will not wane.
“Who say, ‘Keep to yourself, do not come near me,For I am holier than you!’These are smoke in My nostrils,A fire that burns all the day.
