440 anthrax {anth'-rax} 
 
of uncertain derivation;; adj 
 
AV - coals of fire 1; 1 
 
1) a burning or live coal 
 
A proverbial expression signifying to call up, by favours you confer 
on your enemy, the memory in him of the wrong he has done you (which 
shall pain him as if live coals were heaped on his head), that he may 
the more readily repent. The Arabians call things that cause very 
acute mental pain "burning coals of the heart" and "fire of the liver".
