Jerusalem the Useless Vine
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
The Outcast Vine
Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Son of man, what is the wood of the vine more than any wood, the vine-branch, which is among the trees of the forest?
“Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than any other wood, the vine branch which is among the trees of the forest?
Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will [men] take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
Is wood taken from it to make any object? Or can men make a peg from it to hang any vessel on?
Behold, it is given to the fire for fuel: the fire consumeth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned; is it fit for [any] work?
Instead, it is thrown into the fire for fuel; the fire devours both ends of it, and its middle is burned. Is it useful for any work?
Behold, when it was whole, it was used for no work; how much less when the fire hath consumed it, and it is burned, should it yet be used for any work?
Indeed, when it was whole, no object could be made from it. How much less will it be useful for any work when the fire has devoured it, and it is burned?
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: As the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
“Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give up the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
And I will set my face against them: they shall go forth from [one] fire, and [another] fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah when I set my face against them.
and I will set My face against them. They will go out from one fire, but another fire shall devour them. Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I set My face against them.
