Ezekiel 15

¹And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

²Son of man, what is the vine-tree more than any tree, the vine-branch which is among the trees of the forest?

³Shall wood be taken thereof to make any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?

⁴Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire hath devoured both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned: is it profitable for any work?

⁵Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned, shall it yet be meet for any work!

⁶Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: As the vine-tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

⁷And I will set my face against them; they shall go forth from the fire, but the fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when I set my face against them.

⁸And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord Jehovah.

Ezekiel 15

¹And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

²Son of man, what is the wood of the vine more than any wood, the vine-branch, which is among the trees of the forest?

³Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will [men] take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?

⁴Behold, it is given to the fire for fuel: the fire consumeth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned; is it fit for [any] work?

⁵Behold, when it was whole, it was used for no work; how much less when the fire hath consumed it, and it is burned, should it yet be used for any work?

⁶Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: As the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

⁷And I will set my face against them: they shall go forth from [one] fire, and [another] fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah when I set my face against them.

⁸And I will make the land a desolation, because they have wrought unfaithfulness, saith the Lord Jehovah.
