1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, what is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest? 3 Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon? 4 Behold, 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? 5 Behold, 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? |
6 Therefore 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.
7 And 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. 8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD. |
