Ezekiel 15:1-8 NIV
Jerusalem as a Useless Vine
1The WORD of The LORD Came To me:
2“Son of man, how is the wood of a vine different from that of a branch from any of the trees in the forest? 3Is wood ever taken from it to make anything useful? Do they make pegs from it to hang things on?
2“Son of man, how is the wood of a vine different from that of a branch from any of the trees in the forest? 3Is wood ever taken from it to make anything useful? Do they make pegs from it to hang things on?
4And after it is thrown on the fire as fuel and the fire burns both ends and chars the middle, is it then useful for anything? 5If it was not useful for anything when it was whole, how much less can it be made into something useful when the fire has burned it and it is charred?
6“Therefore This Is What The SOVEREIGN LORD Says:
As I Have Given the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest as fuel for the fire, So Will I Treat the people living in Jerusalem. 7I Will Set MY Face Against them. Although they have come out of the fire, the fire will yet consume them.
As I Have Given the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest as fuel for the fire, So Will I Treat the people living in Jerusalem. 7I Will Set MY Face Against them. Although they have come out of the fire, the fire will yet consume them.
And When I Set MY Face Against them, you will know
that I AM The LORD.
that I AM The LORD.
The Jewish nation, about to be destroyed by the Chaldean, compared to a barren vine which is fit for nothing but to be cast into the fire, Ezekiel 15:1-8.
