Chapter 15 | |
1 | And the word of YHVH 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 ADONAY YHVH; 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 YHVH, when I set my face against them. |
8 | And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the ADONAY YHVH. |
