1. And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
2. Son of man, what is the wood of the vine more than any wood, the vine-branch, which is among the trees of the forest?
3. Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
4. Behold, it is given to the fire for fuel: the fire consumeth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned; is it fit for any work?
