Ezekiel Chapter 15 (Index)

001  And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

002  Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?

003  Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?

004  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?

005  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?

006  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.

007  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.

008  And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.
