Ezekiel 15:2-4

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

² Son of man, How is the wood of the grapevine [Israel] more than that of any tree, the vine branch which was among the trees of the forest?^(A)

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?
