Ezekiel 15 : 1 (HCSB)
Then the word of the LORD came to me:
Ezekiel 15 : 2 (HCSB)
"Son of man, how does the wood of the vine, that branch among the trees of the forest, compare to any other wood?
Ezekiel 15 : 3 (HCSB)
Can wood be taken from it to make something useful? Or can anyone make a peg from it to hang things on?
Ezekiel 15 : 4 (HCSB)
In fact, it is put into the fire as fuel. The fire devours both of its ends, and the middle is charred. Can it be useful for anything?
Ezekiel 15 : 5 (HCSB)
Even when it was whole it could not be made into a useful object. How much less can it ever be made into anything useful when the fire has devoured it and it is charred!
Ezekiel 15 : 6 (HCSB)
"Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire as fuel, so I will give up the residents of Jerusalem.
Ezekiel 15 : 7 (HCSB)
I will turn against them. They may have escaped from the fire, but it will *still consume them. And you will know that I am the LORD when I turn against them.
Ezekiel 15 : 8 (HCSB)
I will make the land desolate because they have acted unfaithfully." *This is the declaration of the Lord God.
