Isaiah5:24
24. Literally, "tongue of fire eateth" (Ac 2:3).
flame consumeth the chaff--rather, withered grass falleth before the flame (Mt 3:12).
root ... blossom--entire decay, both the hidden source and outward manifestations of prosperity, perishing (Job 18:16; Mal 4:1).
cast away ... law--in its spirit, while retaining the letter.
