The answer is: Burnt

Matt 13:30

In the parable of the tares found in Matthew 13, Jesus uses some vivid farming imagery that packs a powerful message. Imagine a farmer sowing good seeds in his field, but under the cover of night, an enemy sneaks in and sows tares—those pesky weeds that look similar to young wheat. When the plants begin to grow, the workers soon realize there’s a mess on their hands. Their immediate dilemma brings a crucial point of discernment: should they try to pull out the tares early, risking damage to the beneficial wheat? Jesus uses this story not just to entertain with agriculture; He invites listeners into deeper reflections on good and evil, growth, and patience.

The fate of those troublesome tares, as noted, is to be burned—a stark end that underscores the serious consequences of living in opposition to God’s intent for flourishing life. It’s a gentle reminder that the presence of unresolved issues isn’t always indicative of immediate judgment; sometimes, it requires time for the good and bad to mature side by side.

This idea echoes motifs found throughout the Bible, where separation often becomes a future promise-tinged hope. Think of the wheat harvested by the grain harvesters who bring in only the plentiful good fruit while casting aside unwanted plants. So, just like the parable promises, in time, perfect justice will ultimately come, bringing clarity, purity, and a rich harvest, aligning with those eternal themes of regeneration and inner transformation!
