- 耶和華的話臨到我說、
- 人子阿、葡萄樹比別樣樹有甚麼強處、葡萄枝比眾樹枝有甚麼好處。
- 其上可以取木料作甚麼工用、可以取來作釘子掛甚麼器皿麼。
- 看哪、已經拋在火中當作柴燒、火既燒了兩頭、中間也被燒了、還有益於工用麼。
- 完全的時候尚且不合乎甚麼工用、何況被火燒壞、還能合乎甚麼工用麼。

- Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
- "Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than any wood of a branch which is among the trees of the forest?
- "Can wood be taken from it to make anything, or can men take a peg from it on which to hang any vessel?
- "If it has been put into the fire for fuel, and the fire has consumed both of its ends and its middle part has been charred, is it then useful for anything?
- "Behold, while it is intact, it is not made into anything. How much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it still be made into anything!
