Ezekiel 15:4
Thomson 1808
Is it not in a peculiar manner doomed to be consumed by fire? Every year the fire consumeth what is lopped from it. And if a bit of it is left, is it fit for any kind of workmanship?
Brenton 1851
It is only given to the fire to be consumed; the fire consumes that which is yearly pruned of it, and it is utterly gone. Will it be useful for any work?
Greek · Brenton
Πάρεξ ὃ πυρὶ δέδοται εἰς ἀναλωσιν, τὴν κατʼ ἐνιαυτὸν κάθαρσιν ἀπʼ αὐτῆς ἀναλίσκει τὸ πῦρ, καὶ ἐκλείπει εἰς τέλος· μὴ χρήσιμον ἔσται εἰς ἐργασίαν;
