fire

So they, seeing him thus triumphant over the tortures and unmoved even by the pity of his executioners, dragged him to the fire.

But when the fire already reached to his bones and he was about to give up the ghost, he lifted up his eyes to God and said:

For as our father Aaron, armed with the censer, ran through the massed congregation against the fiery angel and overcame him, so the son of Aaron, Eleazar, being consumed by the melting heat of the fire, remained unshaken in his Reason.

For we through this our evil entreatment and our endurance of it shall win the prize of virtue; but thou for our cruel murder shalt suffer at the hands of divine justice sufficient torment by fire for ever.'

And with his bodily frame already in dissolution this great-souled youth, like a true son of Abraham, groaned not at all; but as if he were suffering a change by fire to incorruption, he nobly endured the torment, saying:

But he said unto them, 'For me ye have no fire so exceeding hot as to make me a coward.

As he spake these words they brought him to the wheel, and with care they stretched him out and dislocated the bones of his back and set fire under him.

Thy fire is cool for us, thy engines of torture torment not, and thy violence is impotent.

For which things the divine justice delivers thee unto a more rapid and an eternal fire and torments which shall not leave hold on thee to all eternity.

We now shudder when we hear of the suffering of those youths; but they, not only seeing it with their eyes, nor merely hearing the spoken, imminent threat, but actually feeling the pang, endured it through; and that in the torture by fire, than which what greater agony can be found?

For sharp and stringent is the power of fire, and swiftly did it bring their bodies to dissolution.

She saw the flesh of her sons being consumed in the fire, and the extremities of their hands and feet scattered on the ground, and the flesh-covering, torn off from their heads right to their cheeks, strewn about like masks.

How many and how great were the tortures with which the mother was tormented while her sons were being tortured with torments of rack and fire!

And Daniel, the just man, was cast to the lions, and Ananias, Azarias, and Mishael were flung into the furnace of fire, and they endured for God's sake.

And he spake to us of Phineas, the zealous priest, and he taught you the song of Ananias, Azarias, and Mishael in the fire.

"Yea even though thou pass through the fire, the flame shall not hurt thee."

Ah, cruel was the day, and yet not cruel, when the cruel tyrant of the Greeks set the fire blazing for his barbarous braziers, and with his passions boiling brought to the catapult and back again to his tortures the seven sons of the daughter of Abraham, and blinded the eyeballs of their eyes, and cut out their tongues, and slew them with many kinds of torment.

And I beheld, and lo! four angels standing at the four corners of the city, each of them holding a torch of fire in his hands.

And you, you virgins; who weave fine linen And silk with gold of Ophir, Take with haste all (these) things And cast (them) into the fire, That it may bear them to Him who made them, And the flame send them to Him who created them, Lest the enemy get possession of them.

You that rule with great thought the hosts that stand before you: also the countless holy beings, which you did make from the beginning, of flame and fire, which stand around Your throne you rule with indignation.

And in the ninth part the fall of fire.

For to them shall be given the world to come, But the dwelling of the rest who are many shall be in the fire.'

You make known the multitude of the fire, And you weigh the lightness of the wind.

Therefore a fire shall consume their thoughts, And in flame shall the meditations of their reins be tried; For the Judge shall come and will not tarry.

For all this multitude are going to corruption, Nor is there any numbering of those whom the fire devours.

And it came to pass at the end of the cloud, that lo! it rained black waters, and they were darker than had been all those waters that were before, and fire was mingled with them, and where those waters descended, they wrought devastation and destruction.

For at that time the lamp of the eternal law shone on all those who sat in darkness, which announced to them that believe the promise of their reward, and to them that deny, the torment of fire which is reserved for them.

But then also He showed to him the measures of the fire, also the depths of the abyss, and the weight of the winds, and the number of the drops of rain:

On this account Manasseh was at that time named 'the impious," and finally his abode was in the fire.

And not only did he slay the impious that were living, but they also took from the sepulchers the bones of the dead and burned them with fire.

[And the festivals and the Sabbaths he established in their sanctity], and their polluted ones he burnt in the fire, and the lying prophets which deceived the people, these also he burnt in the fire, and the people who listened to them when they were living, he cast them into the brook Kidron, and heaped stones upon them.

[And the festivals and the Sabbaths he established in their sanctity], and their polluted ones he burnt in the fire, and the lying prophets which deceived the people, these also he burnt in the fire, and the people who listened to them when they were living, he cast them into the brook Kidron, and heaped stones upon them.

And it shall come to pass that whoever gets safe out of the war shall die in the earthquake, And whoever gets safe out of the earthquake shall be burned by the fire, And whoever gets safe out of the fire shall be destroyed by famine.

And it shall come to pass that whoever gets safe out of the war shall die in the earthquake, And whoever gets safe out of the earthquake shall be burned by the fire, And whoever gets safe out of the fire shall be destroyed by famine.

The sound of much people as of an exceeding high wind, As a tempest with mighty fire sweeping through the Negeb.

Manifoldly twisted are the words of the tongue of the wicked man, Even as among a people a fire that burneth up their beauty.

So he delights to fill houses with a lying tongue, To cut down the trees of gladness which setteth on fire transgressors,

In flaming fire perish the slanderous tongue (far) away from the pious!

He that offereth these things shall never be shaken by evil; The flame of fire and the wrath against the unrighteous shall not touch him,

In Gehenna of strong, furious, quenchless fire.

Will he show life eternal, but the fire

A mighty stream of burning fire from heaven

Burned both by sulphur stream and force of fire

And also those whom flesh-devouring fire

In a circle flow a restless stream of fire;

In chains of flaming fire and from above

The evil work they did, burned with much fire;

That he will suffer men from raging fire

Imperishable fire, and days and nights.

A tireless cataract of raging fire,

Nightly pursue their way by a pillar of fire

To judge each man in blood and light of fire.

Shall swallow down those who are by the fire

Fire ne'er shall leave thee, but thou shalt be burned.

And well-made houses shall they burn with fire

A much-distressing fire; and of all men

Made with hands shall fall by a flame of fire.

Nor shall the forest wood be cut for fire.

And by fire and by overwhelming storm;

A wall of flaming fire. And they shall be

And the stern rage of men he'll burn with fire.

Of God, fire sent. . . .

Of powerful fire set all aflame while Etna

Fire shall come flashing forth in the broad heaven,

There shall be over all the world a fire

The fire unspeakable which he lit up,

Even he who cleft the violence of fire,

Without life and dumb, molten in the fire

And trust in bows. All Asia fire-ablaze

And mixed with burning fire inhabit thou

Shall perish in the midst of fire and groans.

And there shall be a rain of gleaming fire

For fire shall rain down from the heavenly plains

Shall care no longer for the fire divine

Cast headlong down and overwhelmed with fire

And many cities with much fire he took

From their foundations, and he set on fire

For long fire-flames rebelled against the Sun;

Of Ocean they set all the earth on fire;

Trailing its gleaming billows, from the fire

When thou, O God, shalt flash thine eye of fire.

The fire that burns within thee shall consume.

Measuring a column with a mighty fire

For a great fearful fire hangs over thee.

Of frankincense in fire, nor with the sword

And thou shalt sprinkle water on pure fire

Thou didst make thyself manifest in fire."

Thou shalt be wholly eaten up of fire

For there shall be such raging fire on earth

The whole land. It shall set the hills on fire,

Not with stars, but with fire. Not speedily

Therefore did fire consume me and shall gnaw;

Fire then shall destroy all things and give back

And be rased to the ground, and thee shall fire

When a dragon charged with fire in both his eyes

And brimstone and much fire thou utterly

And all wealth. And the searching fire shall burn

But the lawless shall that fire whirl round and round.

And there shall out of heaven a stream of fire

Of gleaming fire, and heavenly sky and night
