* And the Word of the LORD came to me , saying , * Son of man , how is the vine tree more than any other tree , [or than ] a branch which is among the trees of the forest ? * Shall wood be taken from it to do work ? Or will [men ] take from it [for ] a peg to hang any vessel on it ? * Behold , it is cast into the fire for fuel . The fire devours both its ends , and its middle is charred . Is it fit for [any ] work ? * Behold , when it was whole , it was not made for work . How much less when the fire has devoured it , and it is charred ? Shall it yet be made to work ? * Therefore so says the Lord Jehovah , As the vine tree among the trees of the forest , which I have given to the fire for fuel , so I will give the people of Jerusalem . * And I will set My face against them ; they shall go out from the fire , and the fire shall devour them . And you shall know that I [am ] the LORD when I set My face against them . * And I will make the land [to be ] desolate , because they have committed a treacherous act , says the Lord Jehovah .
