| 1 |
And the word of Yahweh came to me: | Parable of the vine. Eze.15.1-8 |
| 2 |
"Son of man, how does the wood of the vine surpass any wood, the vine branch which is among the trees of the forest? | |
| 3 |
Is wood taken from it to make anything? Do men take a peg from it to hang any vessel on? | |
| 4 |
Lo, it is given to the fire for fuel; when the fire has consumed both ends of it, and the middle of it is charred, is it useful for anything? | |
| 5 |
Behold, when it was whole, it was used for nothing; how much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it ever be used for anything! | |
| 6 |
Therefore thus says Yahweh GOD: Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give up the inhabitants of Jerusalem. | |
| 7 |
And I will set my face against them; though they escape from the fire, the fire shall yet consume them; and you will know that I am Yahweh, when I set my face against them. | |
| 8 |
And I will make the land desolate, because they have acted faithlessly, says Yahweh God." | |
