“Abinadi’s words fit the pattern of a simile curse, of which he gives examples. Hugh Nibley suggested that Abinadi borrowed from the simile curse in Isaiah 50:9, 11. … Abinadi’s curse of King Noah, with the specific mention of fire, was intended to indicate the very serious nature of Noah’s sins. Like the diseased garment in Leviticus 13:52, 57, and the useless garment in Isaiah 14:19–20 (another simile curse), he is not to be honored with burial. Instead, he will suffer death by fire, which is the ultimate punishment of the wicked” (Tvedtnes, “As a Garment in a Hot Furnace,” 76, 79).
