Ezekiel 15:2-4

New American Standard Bible

² “Son of man, ^[a]how is the wood of the ^(A)vine better than any wood of a branch which is among the trees of the forest? ³ Can wood be taken from it to make ^[b]anything, or can even a peg be taken from it on which to hang any utensil? ⁴ If it has been put into the ^(B)fire for fuel, and the fire has consumed both of its ends and its middle part has been charred, is it then good for ^[c]anything?
