1The word of the LORD came to me:1Then the word of the LORD came to me:
2"Son of man, of all the woody branches among the trees of the forest, what happens to the wood of the vine?2"Son of man, how does the wood of the vine, that branch among the trees of the forest, compare to any other wood?
3Can wood be taken from it to make anything useful? Or can anyone make a peg from it to hang things on?3Can wood be taken from it to make something useful? Or can anyone make a peg from it to hang things on?
4No! It is thrown in the fire for fuel; when the fire has burned up both ends of it and it is charred in the middle, will it be useful for anything?4In fact, it is put into the fire as fuel. The fire devours both of its ends, and the middle is charred. Can it be useful for anything?
5Indeed! If it was not made into anything useful when it was whole, how much less can it be made into anything when the fire has burned it up and it is charred? 5Even when it was whole it could not be made into a useful object. How much less can it ever be made into anything useful when the fire has devoured it and it is charred!"
6"Therefore, this is what the sovereign LORD says: Like the wood of the vine is among the trees of the forest which I have provided as fuel for the fire--so I will provide the residents of Jerusalem as fuel.6Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says, "Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire as fuel, so I will give up the residents of Jerusalem.
7I will set my face against them--although they have escaped from the fire, the fire will still consume them! Then you will know that I am the LORD, when I set my face against them.7I will turn against them. They may have escaped from the fire, but it will still consume them. And you will know that I am the LORD when I turn against them.
8I will make the land desolate because they have acted unfaithfully, declares the sovereign LORD." 8I will make the land desolate because they have acted unfaithfully." This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.
