1And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
1And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2And you, son of man—of all the wood, of the branches that are among the trees of the forest, what shall be made of the wood of the vine?
2Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?
3Will they take wood of it to make [it fit] for work? will they take of it a peg to hang any vessel upon it?
3Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
4It is only given to the fire to be consumed; the fire consumes that which is yearly pruned of it, and it is utterly gone. Will it be useful for [any] work?
4Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it meet for any work?
5Not even while it is yet whole will it be [useful] for [any] work: if the fire shall have utterly consumed it, will it still be [fit] for work?
5Behold, 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?
6Therefore say, Thus says the Lord, As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given up to the fire to be consumed, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
6Therefore thus saith the Lord God; 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 of the fire, and [yet] fire shall devour them; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have set my face against them.
7And I will set my face against them; they shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I set my face against them.
8And I will give up the land to ruin, because they have utterly transgressed, says the Lord .
8And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord God.
