LEB(i)
1 And the word of Yahweh ⌊came⌋* to me, ⌊saying⌋,*
2 "Son of man, how will the wood of the vine be ⌊better than⌋* ⌊any of the wood of⌋* the branch which is among the trees of the forest?*
3 Can wood be taken from it to make anything, or can they take a tent peg from it to hang on it any object?*
4 Look! It is given to the fire as fuel. The fire will consume two of its ends, and its middle will be charred. Is it useful for anything?
5 Look! ⌊When it is in perfect condition⌋,* it will not be used for anything, ⌊how much less⌋* ⌊when the fire has consumed it⌋* and it is charred; and then can it be used again for anything?
