Can one make a peg from it to hang any utensil on? 4 Look, it is put into the fire for fuel. The fire consumes both ends of it, and its middle is charred. Is it useful for anything? 5 Even when it was whole, it could not be made into anything useful. How much less can it be used after the fire has consumed it and it is charred! 6 Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: As the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so have I given the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 7 I will set my face against them.
