Exegesis
The interrogative hayitzlach limleakhah {הֲיִצְלַח לִמְלָאכָה} uses a Hiphil imperfect to frame a rhetorical question about the wood’s practical viability. The translation preserves the Hebrew paratactic style with clear clause boundaries and rhetorical suspense.
In context — Ezekiel 15:4
Behold, it is given to the fire for fuel; the fire has consumed both its ends , and its middle is charred. Will it succeed for any work?
