Ezekiel 15:5
Ezekiel 15:5 The Message (MSG)
“Hardly. When it was whole it wasn’t good for anything. Half-burned is no improvement. What’s it good for?
Ezekiel 15:5 King James Version (KJV)
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?
Ezekiel 15:5 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
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!
Ezekiel 15:5 New Century Version (NCV)
When the vine was whole, it couldn’t be made into anything. When the fire has burned it completely, it certainly cannot be made into anything.”
Ezekiel 15:5 American Standard Version (ASV)
Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned, shall it yet be meet for any work!
Ezekiel 15:5 New International Version (NIV)
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?
Ezekiel 15:5 New King James Version (NKJV)
Indeed, when it was whole, no object could be made from it. How much less will it be useful for any work when the fire has devoured it, and it is burned?
Ezekiel 15:5 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Notice this, even when it was complete, it was not useful and was not made into anything. How much less, after the fire has burned [part of] it and [the remainder of] it is charred, can it still be made into anything?
Ezekiel 15:5 New Living Translation (NLT)
Vines are useless both before and after being put into the fire!
