		- Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
 - "Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than any wood of a branch which is among the trees of the forest?
 - "Can wood be taken from it to make anything, or can men take a peg from it on which to hang any vessel?
 - "If it has been put into the fire for fuel, and the fire has consumed both of its ends and its middle part has been charred, is it then useful for anything?
 - "Behold, while it is intact, it is not made into anything. How much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it still be made into anything!
