Proverbs 6:27
New King James Version
27 Can a man take fire to his bosom,
And his clothes not be burned?
Hosea 7:4-7
New King James Version
4 “They(A) are all adulterers.
Like an oven heated by a baker—
He ceases stirring the fire after kneading the dough,
Until it is leavened.
5 In the day of our king
Princes have made him sick, [a]inflamed with (B)wine;
He stretched out his hand with scoffers.
6 They prepare their heart like an oven,
While they lie in wait;
[b]Their baker sleeps all night;
In the morning it burns like a flaming fire.
7 They are all hot, like an oven,
And have devoured their judges;
All their kings have fallen.
(C)None among them calls upon Me.
Job 31:9-12
New King James Version
9 “If my heart has been enticed by a woman,
Or if I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,
10 Then let my wife grind for (A)another,
And let others bow down over her.
11 For that would be wickedness;
Yes, (B)it would be iniquity deserving of judgment.
12 For that would be a fire that consumes to destruction,
And would root out all my increase.
James 3:5
New King James Version
5 Even so (A)the tongue is a little member and (B)boasts great things.
See how great a forest a little fire kindles!
