1297. And let us burn them to a burning. That this signifies evils from the love of self, is evident from the signification in the Word of “to burn,” of “a burning,” of “fire,” of “sulphur,” and of “bitumen,” which are predicated of cupidities, especially of those which belong to the love of self. As in Isaiah:

Our house of holiness, and our beauty [decus], where our fathers praised Thee, hath been made a burning of fire; and all our desirable things have been made a waste (Isaiah 64:11).

Again:

Conceive chaff, bring forth stubble; your wind is a fire that shall devour you; thus will the peoples be burnings of lime; thorns lopped off, they will be kindled with fire (Isaiah 33:11-12).

Not to mention many other similar expressions. “To be burned” and “fire” are predicated of cupidities, because the case as regards them both is much the same.

11 "You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in beautiful colors, and lay your foundations with sapphires.

12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies, and your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.

13 All your children shall be taught of Yahweh; and great shall be the peace of your children.
