1The word of the Lord came to me:
2O mortal, how does the wood of the vine surpass all other wood,[#Isa 5.1–7; Jer 2.21; Hos 10.1]
the vine branch that is among the trees of the forest?
3Is wood taken from it to make anything?
Does one take a peg from it on which to hang any object?
4It is put in the fire for fuel;[#v 6 ; Ezek 19.14; Jn 15.6]
when the fire has consumed both ends of it
and the middle of it is charred,
is it useful for anything?
5When 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!
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 I will give up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.[#v 2 ; Ezek 17.3–10]
7I will set my face against them; although they escape from the fire, the fire shall still consume them, and you shall know that I am the Lord when I set my face against them.[#Lev 17.10; Isa 24.18; Ezek 6.7; 7.4; 14.8]
8And I will make the land desolate because they have acted faithlessly, says the Lord God .[#Ezek 14.13]
