'Smoldering' in the Bible

and say to him, ‘Take care and be calm, have no fear and do not be fainthearted because of these two stubs of smoldering firebrands, on account of the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram and the son of Remaliah.

“A battered reed He will not break off,And a smoldering wick He will not put out,Until He leads justice to victory.
