Ezekiel 15
Chapter 15
Jerusalem like a Useless Vine
1 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than any wood of a
branch which is among the trees of the forest?
3 “Can wood be taken from it to make anything, or can men take a peg
from it on which to hang any vessel?
4 “If it has been put into the fire for fuel, and the fire has consumed
both of its ends and its middle part has been charred, is it then useful for
anything?
5 “Behold, while it is intact, it is not made into anything. How much
less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it still be made into
anything!
6 “Therefore, thus says the Lord God, ‘As 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;
7 and I set My face against them. Though they have come out of the fire,
yet the fire will consume them. Then you will know that I am the Lord, when I
set My face against them.
8 ‘Thus I will make the land desolate, because they have acted unfaithfully,’ ” declares
the Lord God.
