< Ezekiel 15 >

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
2 Son of man, what is the vine-tree more than any branching tree which is among the trees of the woods?
O son of humankind what? is it [the] wood of the vine more than any tree the vine branch which it is among [the] trees of the forest.
3 Will its wood be used for any work? do men make of it a pin for hanging any vessel on?
¿ Is it taken from it wood to make into a product or? do people take from it a peg to hang on it any vessel.
4 See, it is put into the fire for burning: the fire has made a meal of its two ends and the middle part of it is burned; is it good for any work?
There! to the fire it is given for fuel [the] two ends its it consumes the fire and [the] middle of it it is charred ¿ is it successful for a product.
5 Truly, before it was cut down, it was not used for any purpose: how much less, when the fire has made a meal of it and it is burned, will it be made into anything?
There! when was it complete not it was made into a product indeed? if a fire it has consumed it and it has been charred and will it be made? again into a product.
6 For this cause the Lord has said: Like the vine-tree among the trees of the woods which I have given to the fire for burning, so will I give the people of Jerusalem.
Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh just as [the] wood of the vine among [the] tree[s] of the forest which I have given it to the fire for fuel so I have given [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem.
7 And my face will be turned against them; and though they have come out of the fire they will be burned up by it; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord when my face is turned against them.
And I will set face my on them from the fire they have come out and the fire it will consume them and you will know that I [am] Yahweh when set I face my on them.
8 And I will make the land a waste because they have done evil, says the Lord.
And I will make the land a desolation because they have acted unfaithfully unfaithfulness [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
