Ezekiel 15:3

Read in context

Ezekiel 15:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 “Son of man, how does the wood of the vine surpass any other branch among the trees in the forest?

3 Can wood be taken from it to make something useful? Or can one make from it a peg on which to hang utensils?

4 No, it is cast into the fire for fuel. The fire devours both ends, and the middle is charred. Can it be useful for anything?

5 Even when it was whole, it could not be made useful. How much less can it ever be useful when the fire has consumed it and charred it!
