'Useless' in the Bible

As a result, Jerusalem will become an insult, an object of taunt, an example of chastisement, and a useless waste to all the nations that surround you when I carry out my sentence against you in my anger, my burning rage, and my burning rebukes. I, the LORD, have spoken it.

If it was useless before it was burned, now that it's been burned and charred through, it's even more useless!
