1. The word of Yahweh was addressed to me as follows:

1. And the word of the LORD came to me:

2. Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than wood from the branch of a forest tree?

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?

3. Is its wood used for making anything? Are pegs on which to hang things made from it?

3. Is wood taken from it to make anything? Do men take a peg from it to hang any vessel on?

4. There it is, thrown on the fire for fuel. The fire burns off both ends; the middle is charred; can it be kept for anything now?

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?

5. While it was intact, you could make nothing with it; burned and charred, is it any more useful now?

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!

6. So, the Lord Yahweh says this: As the wood of the vine among the forest trees, which I have thrown on the fire for fuel, so shall I treat the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

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.

7. I shall set my face against them. They have escaped one fire, but fire will devour them yet. And you will know that I am Yahweh, when I set my face against them.

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.

8. I shall reduce the country to a desert, because of their infidelity- declares the Lord Yahweh.

8. And I will make the land desolate, because they have acted faithlessly, says the Lord GOD."
