English Standard VersionBerean Study Bible
1And the word of the LORD came to me:1Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2“Son of man, how does the wood of the vine surpass any wood, the vine branch that is among the trees of the forest?2“Son of man, how does the wood of the vine surpass any other branch among the trees in the forest?
3Is wood taken from it to make anything? Do people take a peg from it to hang any vessel on it?3Can wood be taken from it to make something useful? Or can one make from it a peg on which to hang utensils?
4Behold, it is given to the fire for fuel. When the fire has consumed both ends of it, and the middle of it is charred, is it useful for anything?4No, it is cast into the fire for fuel. The fire devours both ends, and the middle is charred. Can it be useful for anything?
5Behold, when it was whole, it was used for nothing. How much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it ever be used for anything!5Even when it was whole, it could not be made useful. How much less can it ever be useful when the fire has consumed it and charred it!
6Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.6Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give up the people of Jerusalem.
7And I will set my face against them. Though they escape from the fire, the fire shall yet consume them, and you will know that I am the LORD, when I set my face against them.7And I will set My face against them. Though they may have escaped the fire, yet another fire will consume them. And when I set My face against them, you will know that I am the LORD.
8And I will make the land desolate, because they have acted faithlessly, declares the Lord GOD.”8Thus I will make the land desolate, because they have acted unfaithfully,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
