| NETBible | When its branches get brittle, 1 they break; women come and use them for kindling. 2 For these people lack understanding, 3 therefore the one who made them has no compassion on them; the one who formed them has no mercy on them. |
| NIV © |
When its twigs are dry, they are broken off and women come and make fires with them. For this is a people without understanding; so their Maker has no compassion on them, and their Creator shows them no favour. |
| NASB © |
When its limbs are dry, they are broken off; Women come and make a fire with them, For they are not a people of discernment, Therefore their Maker will not have compassion on them. And their Creator will not be gracious to them. |
| NLT © |
The people are like the dead branches of a tree, broken off and used for kindling beneath the cooking pots. Israel is a foolish and stupid nation, for its people have turned away from God. Therefore, the one who made them will show them no pity or mercy. |

And it's not a bad place to get firewood. Dry twigs and dead branches are plentiful. It's the leavings of a people with no sense of God. So, the God who made them Will have nothing to do with them. He who formed them will turn his back on them. |

| NET Notes |
1 tn Heb “are dry” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV). 2 tn Heb “women come [and] light it.” The city is likened to a dead tree with dried up branches that is only good for firewood. 3 tn Heb “for not a people of understanding [is] he.” |
