Ezekiel 15:5
 Ezekiel 15:5 
New International Version (© 2011)
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?

King James Bible
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?

American Standard Version
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!

Young's Literal Translation
Lo, in its being perfect it is not used for work, How much less, when fire hath eaten of it, And it is scorched, Hath it been used yet for work?
