- 耶和华的话临到我说,
- 人子阿,葡萄树比别样树有什么强处。葡萄枝比众树枝有什么好处。
- 其上可以取木料作什么工用,可以取来作钉子挂什么器皿麽。
- 看哪,已经抛在火中当作柴烧,火既烧了两头,中间也被烧了,还有益于工用麽。
- 完全的时候尚且不合乎什么工用,何况被火烧坏,还能合乎什么工用麽。

- 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!
