Ezekiel 15:2-4

Young's Literal Translation

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?
