Ezekiel 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.
