God's Judgment as Consuming Fire
Isaiah 47:14
Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame…


: — The flame is no comfortable fire for warmth, no hearth-fire (Isaiah 44:16) to sit in front of; but, on the contrary, consuming, eternal, i.e. annihilating flames (Isaiah 33:14).

(F. Delitzsch, D. D.)
