Ezekiel 15:2-4

New Catholic Bible

² Son of man, how is the wood of the vine
    better than any other wood,
    the vine branch from a tree in the forest?
³ Is its wood used to make anything?
    Are pegs fashioned from it to hang anything?
⁴ If it is thrown on the fire for fuel,
    and the fire consumes both ends and chars the middle,
    is it useful for anything?
