¹ And the Word of Jehovah came to me, saying,² Son of man, how is the vine tree more than any other tree, or than a branch that is among the trees of the forest?³ Shall wood be taken from it to do work? Or will men take from it for a peg to hang every vessel on it?⁴ Behold, it is put in the fire for fuel. The fire devours both its ends, and its middle is charred. Will it prosper for work?⁵ Behold, when it was whole it was not made for work. How much less when the fire has devoured it, and it is charred! Shall it yet be made to work?⁶ Therefore, so says the Lord Jehovah: As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, it which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give those living in Jerusalem.⁷ And I will set my face against them. They shall go out from the fire, and the fire shall devour them. And you shall know that I am Jehovah when I set My face against them.⁸ And I will give the land to be desolate because they have done treachery, declares the Lord Jehovah.
