'Fuel' in the Bible

For the trampling boot of battleand the bloodied garments of warwill be burned as fuel for the fire.

The land is scorchedby the wrath of the Lord of Hosts,and the people are like fuel for the fire.No one has compassion on his brother.

Lebanon is not enough for fuel,or its animals enough for a burnt offering.

It serves as fuel for man.He takes some of it and warms himself;also he kindles a fire and bakes bread;he even makes it into a god and worships it;he makes an idol from it and bows down to it.

In fact, it is put into the fire as fuel. The fire devours both of its ends, and the middle is charred. Can it be useful for anything?

“Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire as fuel, so I will give up the residents of Jerusalem.

You will be fuel for the fire.Your blood will be spilled in the land.You will not be remembered,for I, Yahweh, have spoken.”

Take the choicest of the flockand also pile up the fuel under it.Bring it to a boiland cook the bones in it.”

Is it not from the Lord of Hoststhat the peoples labor only to fuel the fireand countries exhaust themselves for nothing?
