| 15 | Ezekiel | ||
| 1 | And the word of Yahweh came to me: | Parable of the vine. Eze.15.1-8 | |
| 2 | "Son of man, how does the wood of the vine surpass any wood, the vine branch which is among the trees of the forest? | ||
| 3 | Is wood taken from it to make anything? Do men take a peg from it to hang any vessel on? | ||
| 4 | Lo, 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? | ||
| 5 | 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! | ||
| 6 | Therefore thus says Yahweh GOD: Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give up the inhabitants of Jerusalem. | ||
| 7 | 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 Yahweh, when I set my face against them. | ||
| 8 | And I will make the land desolate, because they have acted faithlessly, says Yahweh God." | ||
