Ezekiel 15:3-5

Common English Bible

³ Can you make anything useful from its wood? Can you make a peg from it and hang objects on it? ⁴ If not, can it be used as firewood? Fire would consume its two ends, but its middle part would only get charred. So is it useful for anything? ⁵ Look, even when it was whole, it was worthless. Now that the fire has consumed it, and it is charred, it’s even more useless.
