| 15:1
| And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
|
| 15:2
| Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch
which is among the trees of the forest?
|
| 15:3
| Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it
to hang any vessel thereon?
|
| 15:4
| 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?
|
| 15:5
| 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?
|
| 15:6
| 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.
|
| 15:7
| 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.
|
| 15:8
| And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a
trespass, saith the Lord GOD.
