And the
word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
02 Son of man, what is the vine tree more than
any tree, or than a branch which is among the
trees of the forest?
03 Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or
will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel
thereon?
04 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?
05 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?

06 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.
07 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.
08 And I will make the land desolate, because
they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord
God.
