Ezekiel 15:4-7

4 ^aBehold, it is given to the fire for fuel. When the fire has consumed both ends of it, and the middle of it is charred, is it useful for anything? 5 ^bBehold, when it was whole, it was used for nothing. How much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it ever be used for anything! 6 Therefore thus says the Lord God: ^cLike the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, ^dwhich I have given to the fire for fuel, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 7 ^eAnd I will set my face against them. Though ^fthey escape from the fire, the fire shall yet consume them, ^gand you will know that I am the Lord, ^hwhen I set my face against them.
