Jerusalem
like a Useless Vine |
|
|
 |
|
Ezekiel 15:1
|
|
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 15:2
|
|
"Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better
than any wood of a branch which is among the trees of the forest? |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 15:3
|
|
"Can wood be taken from it to make anything,
or can men take a peg from it on which to hang any vessel? |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 15:4
|
|
"If it has been put into the fire for fuel,
and the fire has consumed both of its ends and its middle part has been charred,
is it then useful for anything? |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 15:5
|
|
"Behold, while it is intact, it is not made
into anything. How much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred,
can it still be made into anything! |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 15:6
|
|
"Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, 'As 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; |
| |
|
|
|
Ezekiel 15:7
|
|
and I set My face against them. Though they
have come out of the fire, yet the fire will consume them. Then you will know
that I am the LORD, when I set My face against them. |
|
|
|
|
Ezekiel 15:8
|
|
'Thus I will make the land desolate, because
they have acted unfaithfully,'" declares the Lord GOD. |
