15:1 And the word of the Lord came to me,
saying,
15:2 And thou, son of man-- of all the wood, of the branches that are among
the trees of the forest, what shall be made of the wood of the vine?
15:3 Will they take wood of it to make [it fit] for work? will they take of
it a peg to hang any vessel upon it?
15:4 It is only given to the fire to be consumed; the fire consumes that
which is yearly ruined of it, and it is utterly gone. Will it be useful for
[any] work?
15:5 Not even while it is yet whole will it be [useful] for [any] work: if
the fire shall have utterly consumed it, will it still be [fit] for work?
15:6 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord, As the vine-tree among the trees of
the forest, which I have given up to the fire to be consumed, so have I
given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15:7 And I will set my face against them; they shall go forth of the fire,
and [yet] fire shall devour them; and they shall know that I am the Lord,
when I have set my face against them.
15:8 And I will give up the land to ruin, because they have utterly
transgressed, saith the Lord. |
15:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me,
saying,
15:2 Son of man, what is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch
which is among the trees of the forest?
15:3 Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of
it to hang any vessel thereon?
15:4 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?
15:5 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?
15:6 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.
15:7 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.
15:8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a
trespass, saith the Lord GOD. |
