Leviticus 6:12

And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings.

Ver. 12. It shall not be put out.] No more should our faith, love, zeal (that flame of God, as Solomon calls it, Son 8:9), that should never go out; the waters should not quench it, nor the ashes cover it. Song of Solomon 8:10 2Ti 1:6
