Ezekiel 15:5-7

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁵ Even when it was whole it could not be made into a useful object. How much less can it ever be made into anything useful when the fire has devoured it and it is charred!

⁶ “Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire as fuel, so I will give up the residents of Jerusalem. ⁷ I will turn against them.^(A) They may have escaped from the fire, but it will still consume them.^(B) And you will know that I am Yahweh when I turn against them.
