Ezekiel:15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the word of the LORD came unto me ,
saying ,
*
Son of man ,
What is the vine tree more than any tree ,
or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest ?
*
Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work ?
or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon ?
*
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 ?
*
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 ?
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And I will make the land desolate ,
because they have committed a trespass ,
saith the Lord GOD .
