Ezekiel 15:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ Shall wood be taken from it to do any work? Or will men take a peg of it on which to hang any vessel?

⁴ Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire consumes both ends of it and the middle of it is charred. Is it suitable or profitable for any work?

⁵ Notice, even when it was whole, it was good for no work; how much less shall it be useful and profitable when the fire has devoured it and it is charred?
