| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1This message came to me from the LORD: |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2"Son of Man, how does wood from a vine compare to a branch taken from any of the trees in the forest? |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Is wood ever taken from it to make anything practical? Can it even be made into a peg to hang something on? |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4After all, it's useful only for kindling a fire, isn't it? And once you've burnt up the ends and charred through the middle of it, is it useful for anything else? |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5If it was useless before it was burned, now that it's been burned and charred through, it's even more useless! |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: "Just as the wood from a grape vine is removed from the forest and used for kindling fires, I'm giving the inhabitants of Jerusalem over |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7to punishment. They may have escaped one fire, but the coming fire will burn them up completely, and they will know that I am the LORD, when I set myself in opposition to them |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8and dedicate the land to desolation because of their unfaithful unbelief," declares the Lord GOD. |
