Ezekiel
15:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
15:2 Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch
which is among the trees of the forest?
15:3 Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it
to hang any vessel thereon?
15:4 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?
15:5 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?
15:6 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.
15:7 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.
15:8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a
trespass, saith the Lord GOD.
