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 ¹vine better than any wood of a branch which is among the trees of the forest ? 3 "Can wood be taken from it to make ^aanything, or can men take a peg from it on which to hang any vessel ? 4 "^bIf it has been put into the ²fire for fuel, and the fire has consumed both of its ends and its middle part has been charred, is it then useful for ^canything ? 5 "Behold, while it is intact, it is not made into ^danything. How much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it still be made into ^eanything ! 6 "Therefore, thus says the Lord ^fGOD, '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 ³set My face against them. Though they have ⁴come 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 ⁵acted unfaithfully,' " declares the Lord GOD.
