Bible, King James Version
Ezekiel
Ezek.15
[1] And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
[2] Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree,
or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?
[3] Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will
men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
[4] Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire
devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is
it meet for any work?
[5] Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work:
how much less shall it be meet yet for any work, when the fire
hath devoured it, and it is burned?
[6] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; 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.
[7] And I will set my face against them; they shall go out
from one fire, and another fire shall devour them; and ye shall
know that I am the LORD, when I set my face against them.
[8] And I will make the land desolate, because they have
committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.
