Rotherham(i)
1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
2 Son of man, What can the vine–tree be more than any other tree,––any, branch, which hath been found among the trees of the forest?
3 Shall there be taken from it wood, to be made into any work? Or will men take therefrom a peg, to hang thereon any vessel?
4 Lo! into the fire, it is given up for fuel,––The two ends thereof, doth the fire devour, And, the middle thereof, is charred, Is it fit for any work?
5 Lo! while it was yet whole, it could not be made into any work,––how much less, when, the fire, hath devoured it, and it is charred, can it still be made into any work?
