Ezekiel 15
ESV Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
English Standard VersionNew Living Translation
1And the word of the LORD came to me:1Then this message came to me from the LORD:
2“Son of man, how does the wood of the vine surpass any wood, the vine branch that is among the trees of the forest?2“Son of man, how does a grapevine compare to a tree? Is a vine’s wood as useful as the wood of a tree?
3Is wood taken from it to make anything? Do people take a peg from it to hang any vessel on it?3Can its wood be used for making things, like pegs to hang up pots and pans?
4Behold, 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?4No, it can only be used for fuel, and even as fuel, it burns too quickly.
5Behold, 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!5Vines are useless both before and after being put into the fire!
6Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.6“And this is what the Sovereign LORD says: The people of Jerusalem are like grapevines growing among the trees of the forest. Since they are useless, I have thrown them on the fire to be burned.
7And 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 the LORD, when I set my face against them.7And I will see to it that if they escape from one fire, they will fall into another. When I turn against them, you will know that I am the LORD.
8And I will make the land desolate, because they have acted faithlessly, declares the Lord GOD.”8And I will make the land desolate because my people have been unfaithful to me. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken!”
