Ezekiel 15:3-5

English Standard Version

³ Is wood taken from it to make anything? Do people take ^(A)a peg from it to hang any vessel on it? ^4 (B)Behold, it is given to the fire for fuel. When the fire has consumed both ends of it, and the middle of it is charred, is it useful for anything? ^5 (C)Behold, when it was whole, it was used for nothing. How much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it ever be used for anything!
