Ezekiel 15:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ Behold it is cast into the fire for fuel: the fire hath consumed both ends thereof, and the midst thereof is reduced to ashes: shall it be useful for any work?

⁵ Even when it was whole it was not fit for work: how much less, when the fire hath devoured and consumed it, shall any work be made of it?

⁶ Therefore thus saith the Lord God: As the vine tree among the trees of the forests which I have given to the fire to be consumed, so will I deliver up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
