1Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,1Then the word of the LORD came to me: "
2“Son of man, how does the wood of the vine surpass any other branch among the trees in the forest?2Son of man, how does the wood of the vine, that branch among the trees of the forest, compare to any other wood?
3Can wood be taken from it to make something useful? Or can one make from it a peg on which to hang utensils?3Can wood be taken from it to make something useful? Or can anyone make a peg from it to hang things on?
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?4In fact, it is put into the fire as fuel. The fire devours both of its ends, and the middle is charred. Can it be useful for 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!5Even when it was whole it could not be made into a useful object. How much less can it ever be made into anything useful when the fire has devoured it and it is charred!"
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.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 as fuel, so I will give up the residents of Jerusalem.
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.7I will turn against them. They may have escaped from the fire, but it will still consume them. And you will know that I am Yahweh when I turn against them.
8Thus I will make the land desolate, because they have acted unfaithfully,’ declares the Lord GOD.”8I will make the land desolate because they have acted unfaithfully." This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.
