The answer is: Burnt

Matt 13:30

In the Parable of the Tares, Jesus uses the image of an enemy sowing weeds among the wheat to teach deeper spiritual lessons about separation and destiny. The unfortunate fate of the tares—being burned—is a vivid way for ancient listeners to grasp what happens to those whose choices lead them astray.

In agricultural societies, weeds impacted livelihood, so Jesus drew on everyday experiences to heighten the story’s impact. Just like weeds competing for space, healthy relationships or flourishing faith can be overshadowed by negative influences or unwise decisions. Reflecting on this through the lens of personal growth, we can view the harvest metaphorically: cultivating love, compassion, and wisdom allows us to outgrow those "tares."

Fun fact: the term "tare" traditionally refers to a type of weed called "darnel," which bears an astonishing resemblance to wheat until harvest. People in ancient times needed both patience and discernment to differentiate that which was fruitful from that which was not—a fitting reminder of the importance of vigilance in our own lives!

This portrayal of judgment can also lead to fruitful discussions about accountability. The fate of the tares can prompt a personal exploration of how we foster positive attributes and how we can, together, commune towards a path that encourages growth rather than strife, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of compassion and humanity’s diverse journeys.
