Job 18:16
16 His roots dry up beneath,
and his branches wither above.
Isaiah 5:24
24 Therefore, as the tongue of fire devours the stubble,
and as dry grass sinks down in the flame,
so their root will be as rottenness,
and their blossom go up like dust;
for they have qrejected the law of the Lord of hosts,
and have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Malachi 4:1
The Great Day of the Lord
1 “For behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble. The day that is coming shall set them ablaze, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them fneither root nor branch.
