Ezekiel 15:5

English Standard Version

5 Behold, 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! (Eze 15:3) 

New International Version

5 If it was not useful for anything when it was whole, how much less can it be made into something useful when the fire has burned it and it is charred? 

New International Reader’s Version

5 It was not useful when it was whole. So how can it be made into something useful now? The fire has burned it and blackened it.’ 

King James Version

5 Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less shall it be meet yet for any work, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned?
