Ezekiel 15

1 By the unfitness of the vine branch for any work, 6 is shewed the rejection of Jerusalem.

 15:1 ¶ And the word of the LORD came to 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 of it to do any work? or will [men] take a pin of it to hang any vessel upon it?

 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 suitable for [any] work?

 15:5 Behold, when it was whole, it was fit for no work: how much less then shall it be fit 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.
