NASB — Ezekiel 15 — KJV

Jerusalem like a Useless Vine

1 Then the word° of the LORD° came° to me, saying°, 2 “Son° of man°, how° is the wood° of the avine° [better] than° any° wood° of a branch° which° is among the trees° of the forest°? 3 Can wood° be taken° from it to make° Ianything°, or° can [men] take° a peg° from it on which to hang° any° vessel°? 4 IIf° it has been put° into the afire° for fuel°, [and] the fire° has consumed° both° of its ends° and its middle° part° has been° charred°, is it [then] useful° for IIanything°? 5 Behold°, while it is intact°, it is not made° into Ianything°. How° much° less°, when° the fire° has consumed° it and it is charred°, can it still° be made° into Ianything°! 6 Therefore°, thus° says° the Lord° IGOD°, ‘As 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°; 7 and I aset° My face° against them. [Though] they have bcome° out of the fire°, yet the fire° will consume° them. Then you will know° that I am the LORD°, when° I set° My face° against them. 8 Thus I will make° the land° desolate°, because° they have aacted° unfaithfully°,’” declares° the Lord° GOD°.

By the unfitness of the vine branch for any work,

1 ¶ And the wordº of the LORDº came² unto² me, saying,ºª 2 Sonº of man,º What² is² the vineº treeº more than any²² tree,º [or than] a branchº which² is² among the treesº of the forest?º 3 Shall woodº be takenºª thereof² to doºª any work?º or² will [men] takeºª a pinº of² it to hangºª any² vesselº thereon?² 4 Behold,² it is castºª into the fireº for fuel;º the fireº devourethºª² bothº the endsº of it, and the midstº of it is burned.ºª Is it meetºª for [any] work?º 5 Behold,² when it was² whole,º it was meetºª for no² work:º how much less² shall it be meetºª yet² for [any] work,º when² the fireº hath devouredºª it, and it is burned?ºª

is shewed the rejection of Jerusalem.

6 ¶ Therefore² thus² saithºª the Lordº GOD;º As² the vineº treeº among the treesº of the forest,º which² I have givenºª to the fireº for fuel,º so² will I giveºª² the inhabitantsºª of Jerusalem.º 7 And I will setºª² my faceº against them; they shall go outºª from [one] fire,º and [another] fireº shall devourºª them; and ye shall knowºª that² I² [am] the LORD,º when I setºª² my faceº against them. 8 And I will makeºª² the landº desolate,º because² they have committedºª a trespass,º saithºª the Lordº GOD.º
