“Will its wood be used for any work? do men make of it a pin for hanging any vessel on?”

The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Son of man, what is the vine tree more than any tree, the vine-branch which is among the trees of the forest?
Shall wood be taken of it to make any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire has devoured both its ends, and its midst is burned: is it profitable for any work?
Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less, when the fire has devoured it, and it is burned, shall it yet be meet for any work!
Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
