Behold, while it is intact, it is not made into anything. How much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it still be made into anything!Waste is always waste. Something that's no good for anything is still no good for anything once it's destroyed. But before it's destroyed, all it's doing is taking up space and getting in the way.
This is how God had come to feel about the people of Jerusalem. They weren't even neutral anymore; they were in the way of what He was doing. Therefore, the only solution, if they're not willing to be changed, is to destroy them to make way for the useful to fill the gap.
