1And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,1Then the word of the LORD came to me:
2Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?2"Son of man, how does the wood of the vine, that branch among the trees of the forest, compare to any other wood?
3Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?3Can wood be taken from it to make something useful? Or can anyone make a peg from it to hang things on?
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?4In fact, it is put into the fire as fuel. The fire devours both of its ends, and the middle is charred. Can it be useful for anything?
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?5Even when it was whole it could not be made into a useful object. How much less can it ever be made into anything useful when the fire has devoured it and it is charred!"
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.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 as fuel, so I will give up the residents of Jerusalem.
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.7I will turn against them. They may have escaped from the fire, but it will still consume them. And you will know that I am the LORD when I turn against them.
8And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.8I will make the land desolate because they have acted unfaithfully." This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.
