1 The Lord spoke to me.
2 "Mortal man," he said, "how does a vine compare with a tree? What good is a branch of a grapevine compared with the trees of the forest?
3 Can you use it to make anything? Can you even make a peg out of it to hang things on?
4 It is only good for building a fire. And when the ends are burned up and the middle is charred, can you make anything out of it?
5 It was useless even before it was burned. Now that the fire has burned it and charred it, it is even more useless."
