9145. 'And a stack of grain is consumed' means harm done to accepted truths and forms of the good of faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'a stack' as accepted truth and good of faith. The reason why 'a stack' has this meaning is that it is grain which has already been gathered in, and 'standing grain' means the truth and good of faith while they are being conceived, which is the subject in the very next paragraph.

Isaiah 9:18-19

Studie

      

18 For wickedness burns like a fire. It devours the briers and thorns; yes, it kindles in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke.

19 Through the wrath of Yahweh of Armies, the land is burnt up; and the people are the fuel for the fire. No one spares his brother.
