| 1 | And the word of Jehovah will be to me, saying, | And the word of the LORD came to me: | The word of the LORD came to me: | |
| 2 | Son of man, what is the tree of the vine above every tree, the vine-shoot which was upon the 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 | Shall wood be taken from it to do for work? or will they take from it a peg to hang upon it any vessel? | 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 was given to the fire to consume; the fire consumed its two ends, and the midst of it was burned. Will it succeed for work. | 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 | Behold, in its being whole, it will not do for work: but if the fire consumed it, and it was burnt, did it yet do for work? | 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 | For this, thus said the Lord Jehovah: As the tree of the vine upon the tree of the forest which I gave it to the fire for consuming, thus I gave the inhabitants of Jerusalem. | 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 gave my face against them; they shall go forth from the fire, and the fire shall consume them; and they knew that I am Jehovah in my setting 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 I gave the land a desolation, because they transgressed a transgression, says the Lord Jehovah. | 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.” | |
