Where it appears

Appears 2 times in the Bible.

Isaiah 5:24 Therefore, just as fire licks up stubble and dry grass shrivels in the flame, so their roots will rot and their flowers wither. For they have rejected the law of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies; they have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah 33:11 You Assyrians produce nothing but dry grass and stubble. Your own breath will turn to fire and consume you.
