Midrash sur Job 31:12
כִּ֤י אֵ֣שׁ הִ֭יא עַד־אֲבַדּ֣וֹן תֹּאכֵ֑ל וּֽבְכָל־תְּב֖וּאָתִ֣י תְשָׁרֵֽשׁ׃
un feu dévorant jusqu’à la perdition, ruinant jusqu’à la racine toute ma récolte.
Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer
What did the Holy One, blessed be He, do? He put His name (יה) between their (names), saying: If they go in My ways || and keep all My precepts, behold My name is given to them, it will deliver them from all distress. If they do not (walk in My ways), behold I will take away My name from their (names), and they will become êsh (fire). And fire consumes fire, as it is said, "For it is a fire that consumeth unto destruction" (Job 31:12).
