Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, |
|
| 2 |
“Son of man, [175]how is the wood of the vine better than any wood of a branch which is among the trees of the forest? |
|
| 3 |
Can wood be taken from it to make [176]anything, or can even a peg be taken from it on which to hang any utensil? |
|
| 4 |
If it has been put into the fire for fuel, and the fire has consumed both of its ends and its middle part has been charred, is it then good for [177]anything? |
|
| 5 |
Behold, while it is intact, it is not made into [178]anything. How much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it still be made into [179]anything! |
|
| 6 |
Therefore, this is what the Lord [180]GOD says: ‘As the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem; |
|
| 7 |
and I set My face against them. Though they have come out of the fire, yet the fire will consume them. Then you will know that I am the LORD, when I set My face against them. |
|
| 8 |
So I will make the land desolate, because they have acted unfaithfully,’ ” declares the Lord GOD. |
