Ezekiel 15:1-5

ECB(i) 1
THE WORD OF YAH VEH CONCERNING THE CONSUMED VINE
And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, 2 Son of humanity, what is the vine tree more than any tree, - a twig among the trees of the forest? 3 Is timber taken to work any work? Or a stake taken to hang any instrument thereon? 4 Behold, it is given into the fire for fuel; the fire consumes both the ends thereof and scorches the midst thereof. Prospers it for work? 5 Behold, in being integrious, it works no work: How much less work works it when the fire consumes and scorches?
