Ezekiel  Chapter 15    Back    Next

{15:1} The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

{15:2} Son of man, what is the vine tree more than any tree, the vine-branch which is among the trees of the forest
?

{15:3} Shall wood be taken of it to make any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?

{15:4} Behold, it is cast into the fire
for fuel
; the fire has devoured both its ends, and its midst is burned: is it profitable for any work?

{15:5} Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less, when the fire has devoured it, and it is burned, shall it yet be meet for any work!

{15:6} Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem
.

{15:7} I will set my face against them; they shall go forth from the fire, but the fire shall devour them; and you shall know that I am Yahweh, when I set my face against them.

{15:8} I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, says the Lord Yahweh.
