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?
