1 The worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying: And the word of the LORD came to me: The word of the LORD came to me:
2 Thou sonne of man, what commeth of the vine tree, more then of euery other tree, & of the wylde vine stocke among other trees of the forest? “Son of man, how does the wood of the vine surpass any wood, the vine branch that is among the trees of the forest? “Son of man, how is the wood of a vine different from that of a branch from any of the trees in the forest?
3 Do men take wood of it to make any worke withall? or wyll men take a pin of it to hang any vessell theron? Is wood taken from it to make anything? Do people take a peg from it to hang any vessel on it? Is wood ever taken from it to make anything useful? Do they make pegs from it to hang things on?
4 Behold, it is cast in the fire to be brent, the fire consumeth both the endes of it, the middes of it is brent: is it meete then for any worke? Behold, it is given to the fire for fuel. When the fire has consumed both ends of it, and the middle of it is charred, is it useful for anything? And after it is thrown on the fire as fuel and the fire burns both ends and chars the middle, is it then useful for anything?
5 Seeing then that it was meete for no worke beyng whole, muche lesse may there any thing be made of it when the fire hath consumed and brent it. Behold, when it was whole, it was used for nothing. How much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it ever be used for anything! If it was not useful for anything when it was whole, how much less can it be made into something useful when the fire has burned it and it is charred?
6 And therefore thus saith the Lorde god, As the vine tree that is among the trees of the forest, which I haue geuen to the fire to be consumed: so wyll I geue the inhabitauntes of Hierusalem. Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Like 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. “Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: As I have given the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest as fuel for the fire, so will I treat the people living in Jerusalem.
7 And I wyll set my face against them, they shall go out from the fire, and yet the fire shall consume them: then shall ye knowe that I am the Lorde, when I set my face against them, And I will set my face against them. Though they escape from the fire, the fire shall yet consume them, and you will know that I am the LORD, when I set my face against them. I will set my face against them. Although they have come out of the fire, the fire will yet consume them. And when I set my face against them, you will know that I am the LORD.
8 And when I make the lande waste, because they haue so sore offended, saith the Lorde God. And I will make the land desolate, because they have acted faithlessly, declares the Lord GOD.” I will make the land desolate because they have been unfaithful, declares the Sovereign LORD.”
