Exegesis
The second clause shifts scale from general wood to a small yated {יָתֵ֔ד | yā-tēḏ} “peg,” using litlot {לִתְל֥וֹת | lit-lōt} to express “to hang,” and kol-keli {כָּל־כֶּֽלִי | kol-kéli} to denote “any vessel.” The structure underscores the futility of extracting either substantial timber or minor stakes from this source, highlighting its inherent worthlessness.
In context — Ezekiel 15:3
Shall wood be taken from it to make anything for work , or shall they take from it a peg to hang any vessel on it?
