Chapter 15 |
| 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. |
