Jerusalem, a Useless Vine
And the word of the Lord came to me:
And the word of the Lord came to me:
Jerusalem the Useless Vine
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
“Son of man, how does the wood of the vine surpass any wood, the vine branch that is among the trees of the forest?
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?
Is wood taken from it to make anything? Do people take a peg from it to hang any vessel on it?
Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will [men] take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
Behold, 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?
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?
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!
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?
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 have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
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.
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 the Lord, when I set my face against them.
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.
