Isaiah 47:14
47:14 Look, they are like straw,
which the fire burns up;
they cannot rescue themselves
from the heat of the flames.
There are no coals to warm them,
no firelight to enjoy.
Psalms 31:12
31:12 I am forgotten, like a dead man no one thinks about;
I am regarded as worthless, like a broken jar.
Jeremiah 48:38
48:38 On all the housetops in Moab
and in all its public squares
there will be nothing but mourning.
For I will break Moab like an unwanted jar.
I, the Lord, affirm it!
Luke 4:2
4:2 where for forty days he endured temptations
from the devil. He
ate nothing
during those days, and when they were completed,
he was famished.
Ezekiel 15:3-8
15:3 Can wood be taken from it to make anything useful? Or can anyone make a peg from it to hang things on?
15:4 No!
It is thrown in the fire for fuel; when the fire has burned up both ends of it and it is charred in the middle, will it be useful for anything?
15:5 Indeed! If it was not made into anything useful when it was whole, how much less can it be made into anything when the fire has burned it up and it is charred?
15:6 “Therefore, this is what the sovereign Lord says: Like the wood of the vine is among the trees of the forest which I have provided as fuel for the fire – so I will provide the residents of Jerusalem as fuel.
15:7 I will set my face against them – although they have escaped from the fire, the fire will still consume them! Then you will know that I am the Lord, when I set my face against them.
15:8 I will make the land desolate because they have acted unfaithfully, declares the sovereign Lord.”
