biblegateway Isa 47:14

"Fat chance. You'd be grasping at straws that are already in the fire, A fire that is even now raging. Your 'experts' are in it and won't get out. It's not a fire for cooking venison stew, not a fire to warm you on a winter night!

NETBible

Look, they are like straw, which the fire burns up; they cannot rescue themselves from the heat 1  of the flames. There are no coals to warm them, no firelight to enjoy. 2 

NET Notes

tn Heb “hand,” here a metaphor for the strength or power of the flames.

tn The Hebrew text reads literally, “there is no coal [for?] their food, light to sit before it.” Some emend לַחְמָם (lakhmam, “their food”) to לְחֻמָּם (lÿkhummam, “to warm them”; see HALOT 328 s.v. חמם). This statement may allude to Isa 44:16, where idolaters are depicted warming themselves over a fire made from wood, part of which was used to form idols. The fire of divine judgment will be no such campfire; its flames will devour and destroy.
