1Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,1Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2"Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than any wood of a branch which is among the trees of the forest?2“Son of man, how does the wood of the vine surpass any other branch among the trees in the forest?
3"Can wood be taken from it to make anything, or can men take a peg from it on which to hang any vessel?3Can wood be taken from it to make something useful? Or can one make from it a peg on which to hang utensils?
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 useful for anything?4No, it is cast into the fire for fuel. The fire devours both ends, and the middle is charred. Can it be useful for anything?
5"Behold, while it is intact, it is not made into anything. How much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it still be made into anything!5Even when it was whole, it could not be made useful. How much less can it ever be useful when the fire has consumed it and charred it!
6"Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, '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;6Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give up the people of Jerusalem.
7and 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.7And I will set My face against them. Though they may have escaped the fire, yet another fire will consume them. And when I set My face against them, you will know that I am the LORD.
8'Thus I will make the land desolate, because they have acted unfaithfully,'" declares the Lord GOD.8Thus I will make the land desolate, because they have acted unfaithfully,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
