KJ2000(i)
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, How is the wood of the vine tree better than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?
3 Shall wood be taken of it to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel on?
4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devours both the ends of it, and the middle of it is burned. Is it fit for any work?
5 Behold, when it was whole, it was fit for no work: how much less shall it be fit yet for any work, when the fire has devoured it, and it is burned?
