Lexicon :: Strong's H6227 - ʿāšān

When the sun had gone down and a [deep] darkness had come, there appeared a smoking [fn]brazier and a flaming torch which passed between the [divided] pieces [of the animals].

“Smoke went up out of His nostrils,

And devouring fire from His mouth;

Coals were kindled by it.

“Out of his nostrils smoke goes forth

As from a boiling pot and [as from] burning rushes.

Smoke went up from His nostrils,

And fire from His mouth devoured;

Coals were kindled by it.

But the wicked (ungodly) will perish,

And the enemies of the LORD will be like the [fn]glory of the pastures and like the fat of lambs [that is consumed in smoke],

They vanish—like smoke they vanish away.

As smoke is driven away, so drive them away;

As wax melts before the fire,

So let the wicked and guilty perish before [the presence of] God.

For my days have vanished in smoke,

And my bones have been scorched like a hearth.

Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes,

So is the lazy one to those who send him to work.

(The Shulammite Bride)

“What is this coming up from the wilderness

Like [stately] pillars of smoke

Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,

With all the fragrant powders of the merchant?”

And the foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, and the temple was filling with smoke.

For wickedness burns like a fire;

It consumes briars and thorns,

It even sets the forest thickets ablaze;

And it swirls upward in a column of smoke.

“Howl, O gate; cry, O city!

Melt away, O Philistia, all of you;

For smoke comes out of the north,

And there is no straggler in his ranks and no one stands detached [in Hezekiah’s battalions].

The burning will not be quenched night or day;

Its smoke will go up forever.

From generation to generation it will lie in ruins;

No one will ever again pass through it.

“Lift up your eyes to the heavens,

Then look to the earth beneath;

For the heavens will be torn to pieces and vanish like smoke,

And the earth will wear out like a garment

And its inhabitants will die in like manner.

But My salvation will be forever,

And My righteousness (justice) [and faithfully fulfilled promise] will not be broken.

Who say, ‘Keep to yourself, do not come near me,

For I [fn]am too holy for you [and you might defile me]!’

These [people] are smoke in My nostrils,

A fire that burns all the day.

Therefore they will be [swiftly dissipated] like the morning cloud

Or like dew which soon disappears,

Like chaff which swirls with the whirlwind from the threshing floor,

And like smoke from the chimney or through the window [worthless and without substance —they will vanish].

“I will show signs and wonders [displaying My power] in the heavens and on the earth,

Blood and fire and columns of smoke.

“Behold, I am against you [Nineveh],” declares the LORD of hosts, “and I will burn your chariots in the smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions. I will cut off your prey from the land, and the voice of your messengers will no longer be heard.”
