看哪！已经抛在火里当作燃料，火既烧毁了两端，连中间也烧焦了，它还可以用来制造物件吗？

人投之火、焚其兩端、並燬其中、安能適於用哉、

人投之於火為薪、火焚兩端、其中亦燬、焉能適於用哉、

And after it is thrown on the fire as fuel and the fire burns both ends and chars the middle, is it then useful for anything?

Suppose it is thrown in the fire to be burned. And the fire burns both ends and blackens the middle. Then is the wood useful for anything?

Behold, it is given to the fire for fuel. When the fire has consumed both ends of it, and the middle of it is charred, is it useful for anything?

No, it can only be used for fuel, and even as fuel, it burns too quickly.

In fact, it is put into the fire as fuel. The fire devours both of its ends, and the middle is charred. Can it be useful for anything?

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 good for anything?

Instead, it is thrown into the fire for fuel; the fire devours both ends of it, and its middle is burned. Is it useful for any work?

Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire hath devoured both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned: is it profitable for any work?

No! It is thrown in the fire for fuel; when the fire has burned up both ends of it and it is charred in the middle, will it be useful for anything?

Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire has devoured both its ends, and the middle of it is burned. Is it profitable for any work?

不恆在我者、猶枝見棄而槁、人拾而投於火焚之、

枝枯被折、婦至燃之、斯民不慧、造之者不加矜恤、成之者不施恩惠、○

蓋我之上帝、乃焚燬之火也、

萬軍之耶和華曰、其日將屆、火燃若爐、驕侈與作惡者、將如草芥、日至盡燬、致根與枝、靡有孑遺、

我傾覆爾中之城邑、若上帝傾覆所多瑪蛾摩拉然、爾如燼木、得拔於火、然爾猶不歸我、耶和華言之矣、

若生棘茨則見棄、而近於詛、終見爇矣、○

有火出於其枝、焚燬其果、致無堅強之榦、可為長者之杖、此乃哀歌、後必以為哀歌、

今則被焚見伐、因爾怒容之責、至於滅亡兮、

其手執箕、簸淨厥場、斂麥入倉、而燒糠以不滅之火、○

強者如亂麻、所作如火星、相遇必焚、無人撲滅、
