New Living TranslationKing James Bible
1Then this message came to me from the LORD:1And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
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?2Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?
3Can its wood be used for making things, like pegs to hang up pots and pans?3Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
4No, it can only be used for fuel, and even as fuel, it burns too quickly.4Behold, 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?
5Vines are useless both before and after being put into the fire!5Behold, 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?
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.6Therefore 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.
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.7And 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.
8And I will make the land desolate because my people have been unfaithful to me. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken!”8And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.
