Ezekiel 15:6-8

6 Therefore thus says the Lord God: ¹Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, ²which I have given to the fire for fuel, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

7 ³And I will set my face against them. Though ⁴they escape from the fire, the fire shall yet consume them, ⁵and you will know that I am the Lord, ⁶when I set my face against them.

8 ⁷And I will make the land desolate, because ⁸they have acted faithlessly, declares the Lord God. ”
