Ezekiel 15:3 YLT

¹  And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:

²  'Son of man, What is the vine-tree more than any tree? The vine-branch that hath been, Among trees of the forest?

³  Is wood taken from it to use for work? Do they take of it a pin to hang any vessel on it?

⁴  Lo, to the fire it hath been given for fuel, Its two ends hath the fire eaten, And its midst hath been scorched! Is it profitable for work?

⁵  Lo, in its being perfect it is not used for work, How much less, when fire hath eaten of it, And it is scorched, Hath it been used yet for work?
