For every boot of the tramping warrior in battle tumult and every garment rolled in blood will be burned as fuel for the fire.

Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts the land is scorched, and the people are like fuel for the fire; no one spares another.

Lebanon would not suffice for fuel, nor are its beasts enough for a burnt offering.

Then it becomes fuel for a man. He takes a part of it and warms himself; he kindles a fire and bakes bread. Also he makes a god and worships it; he makes it an idol and falls down before it.

Behold, it is given to the fire for fuel. When the fire has consumed both ends of it, and the middle of it is charred, is it useful for anything?

Therefore thus says the Lord God: Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

You shall be fuel for the fire. Your blood shall be in the midst of the land. You shall be no more remembered, for I the Lord have spoken.”
