  2. 2 “Son of man, how does the wood of the vine surpass any other branch among the trees in the forest?
  3. 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. 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. 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!
