1	And the word of the LORD came to me:
2	“Son of man, how does the wood of the vine surpass any wood, the vine branch that is among the trees of the forest?
3	Is wood taken from it to make anything? Do people take a peg from it to hang any vessel on it?
4	Behold, 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	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	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 have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
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	And I will make the land desolate, because they have acted faithlessly, declares the Lord GOD.“

1	The word of the LORD came to me:
2	“Son of man, how is the wood of a vine better than that of a branch on any of the trees in the forest?
3	Is wood ever taken from it to make anything useful? Do they make pegs from it to hang things on?
4	And after it is thrown on the fire as fuel and the fire burns both ends and chars the middle, is it then useful for anything?
5	If it was not useful for anything when it was whole, how much less can it be made into something useful when the fire has burned it and it is charred?
6	“Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: As I have given the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest as fuel for the fire, so will I treat the people living in Jerusalem.
7	I will set my face against them. Although they have come out of the fire, the fire will yet consume them. And when I set my face against them, you will know that I am the LORD.
8	I will make the land desolate because they have been unfaithful, declares the Sovereign LORD.“

1	Then this message came to me from the LORD:
2	“Son of man, how does a grapevine compare to a tree? Is a vine's wood as useful as the wood of a tree?
3	Can its wood be used for making things, like pegs to hang up pots and pans?
4	No, it can only be used for fuel, and even as fuel, it burns too quickly.
5	Vines are useless both before and after being put into the fire!
6	“And this is what the Sovereign LORD says: The people of Jerusalem are like grapevines growing among the trees of the forest. Since they are useless, I have thrown them on the fire to be burned.
7	And I will see to it that if they escape from one fire, they will fall into another. When I turn against them, you will know that I am the LORD.
8	And I will make the land desolate because my people have been unfaithful to me. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken!“

1	And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2	Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?
3	Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
4	Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it meet for any work?
5	Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less shall it be meet yet for any work, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned?
6	Therefore thus saith 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 Jerusalem.
7	And I will set my face against them; they shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I set my face against them.
8	And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.
