Hebrew Names Version HNV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
1
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
2 Son of man, what is the vine tree more than any tree, the vine-branch which is among the trees of the forest?
2
`Son of man, What is the vine-tree more than any tree? The vine-branch that hath been, Among trees of the forest?
3 Shall wood be taken of it to make any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
3
Is wood taken from it to use for work? Do they take of it a pin to hang any vessel on it?
4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire has devoured both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned: is it profitable for any work?
4
Lo, to the fire it hath been given for fuel, Its two ends hath the fire eaten, And its midst hath been scorched! Is it profitable for work?
5 Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less, when the fire has devoured it, and it is burned, shall it yet be meet for any work!
5
Lo, in its being perfect it is not used for work, How much less, when fire hath eaten of it, And it is scorched, Hath it been used yet for work?
6 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Yerushalayim.
6
Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: As the vine-tree among trees of the forest, That I have given to the fire for fuel, So I have given the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
7 I will set my face against them; they shall go forth from the fire, but the fire shall devour them; and you shall know that I am the LORD, when I set my face against them.
7
And I have set My face against them, From the fire they have gone forth, And the fire doth consume them, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My setting My face against them.
8 I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, says the Lord GOD.
8
And I have made the land a desolation, Because they have committed a trespass, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'
