Ezekiel 15 (GOD'S WORD Translation)
View In My Bible
1
The LORD spoke his word to me. He said,
2
"Son of man, what good is the wood from a vine? Is it better than the wood from a tree in the forest?
3
Do people use it to make something? Do they make a peg from it to hang things on?
4
No! It is only thrown into the fire as fuel. The fire burns up both its ends and chars its middle. Then can it be used to make anything?
5
When the vine was in perfect condition, it couldn't be made into anything. How can it be used to make anything after the fire has burned and charred it?
6
"So this is what the Almighty LORD says: As a vine is taken from among the trees in the forest to be used to feed the fire, so I will take the people who live in Jerusalem to punish them.
7
I will turn against the people of Jerusalem. Even though they have escaped one fire, another fire will burn them. Then they will know that I am the LORD, because I will turn against them.
8
I will turn the country into a wasteland because they have been unfaithful," declares the Almighty LORD.
