King James BibleInternational Standard Version
1And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,1This message came to me from the LORD:
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 wood from a vine compare to a branch taken from any of the trees in the forest?
3Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?3Is wood ever taken from it to make anything practical? Can it even be made into a peg to hang something 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?4After all, it's useful only for kindling a fire, isn't it? And once you've burnt up the ends and charred through the middle of it, is it useful for anything else?
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?5If it was useless before it was burned, now that it's been burned and charred through, it's even more useless!
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: "Just as the wood from a grape vine is removed from the forest and used for kindling fires, I'm giving the inhabitants of Jerusalem over
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.7to punishment. They may have escaped one fire, but the coming fire will burn them up completely, and they will know that I am the LORD, when I set myself in opposition to them
8And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.8and dedicate the land to desolation because of their unfaithful unbelief," declares the Lord GOD.
