KJ3 Literal Translation
Ezekiel 15
By the unfitness of the vine branch for any work is shown the rejection of Jerusalem.
1And the Word of Jehovah was to me, saying,
2Son of man, how is the vine tree more than any other tree, or than a branch that is among the trees of the forest?
3Shall wood be taken from it to do work? Or will men take from it for a peg to hang every vessel on it?
4Behold, it is put in the fire for fuel. The fire devours both its ends, and its middle is charred. Will it prosper for work?
5Behold, when it was whole it was not made for work. How much less when the fire has devoured it, and it is charred! Shall it yet be made to work?
6Therefore, so says the Lord Jehovah: As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, it which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give those living in Jerusalem.
7And I will put My face against them. They shall go out from the fire, and the fire shall devour them. And you shall know that I am Jehovah when I set My face against them.
8And I will give the land to be desolate because they have acted unfaithfully an unfaithful act, a statement of the Lord Jehovah.
