1. And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2. Son of man, What is the vine-tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?
3. Shall wood be taken of it to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel upon it?
4. Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it suitable for any work?
