Revised Standard Version RSV
The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 And the word of the LORD came to me:
1
et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens
2 "Son of man, how does the wood of the vine surpass any wood, the vine branch which is among the trees of the forest?
2
fili hominis quid fiet ligno vitis ex omnibus lignis nemorum quae sunt inter ligna silvarum
3 Is wood taken from it to make anything? Do men take a peg from it to hang any vessel on?
3
numquid tolletur de ea lignum ut fiat opus aut fabricabitur de ea paxillus ut dependeat in eo quodcumque vas
4 Lo, it is given to the fire for fuel; when the fire has consumed both ends of it, and the middle of it is charred, is it useful for anything?
4
ecce igni datum est in escam utramque partem eius consumpsit ignis et medietas eius redacta est in favillam numquid utile erit ad opus
5 Behold, when it was whole, it was used for nothing; how much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it ever be used for anything!
5
etiam cum esset integrum non erat aptum ad opus quanto magis cum ignis illud devoraverit et conbuserit nihil ex eo fiet operis
6 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
6
propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus quomodo lignum vitis inter ligna silvarum quod dedi igni ad devorandum sic tradidi habitatores Hierusalem
7 And I will set my face against them; though they escape from the fire, the fire shall yet consume them; and you will know that I am the LORD, when I set my face against them.
7
et ponam faciem meam in eos de igne egredientur et ignis consumet eos et scietis quia ego Dominus cum posuero faciem meam in eos
8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have acted faithlessly, says the Lord GOD."
8
et dedero terram inviam et desolatam eo quod praevaricatores extiterint dicit Dominus Deus
