KJV ORIGINAL

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?

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Look, even when this wood was completely intact, it wasn't good for making anything useful. So how could it possibly be worth anything now that fire has completely destroyed and burned it up?

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

If something was useless when it was perfect, it's definitely not getting better after it's been burned.

It was completely different from the other beasts, and it had ten horns sticking out of it.

They will not harm or destroy anything in all my holy mountain, because the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD, just as water covers the sea.

After those sixty-two weeks, the Messiah will be killed — but not for anything he did wrong. Then an army led by a future ruler will come and destroy the city and the holy temple. It's going to end like a devastating flood, and the destruction will keep going until the war is completely over.
