Leviticus 9:24 and 10:1, 2. And there came a fire out from before the Lord,—upon the altar;—which when all the people saw, they shouted and fell on their faces. And Nadab and Abihu—offered strange fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not: And there went out a fire from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.

Song of Solomon 2:12, 13. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of the singing of birds has come, and the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land; the fig tree puts forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape, give a good smell. Verse 15. Take us the foxes, the little foxes, which spoil the vines; for our vines have tender grapes.
