1And the word of LORD JEHOVAH was upon me, saying: 2“Son of man, what shall happen to wood of the vine more than all the wood of a branch that is in the woods of the forest? 3Is wood taken from it to make a work from it, or do they take a peg from it to hang vessels on it? 4But it is given as fuel for fire, and fire consumes its two ends, and its middle is ruined so that it is not going to do service 5And when it was without defect, it was not going to serve, now that the fire has consumed it and laid it waste, what use is it going to serve? 6Because of this, thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: “As I have given wood of the vine from all wood of the forest as fuel for fire, so I have given the inhabitants of Jerusalem 7And I shall give my anger to them. They went out from a fire, and a fire shall consume them, and you shall know that I AM LORD JEHOVAH when I have set my anger upon them 8And I shall give the land to destruction and to astonishment, because they have done evil, says THE LORD OF LORDS.”
