Ezekiel 15

1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens

2 Son of man, what is the wood of the vine more than any wood, the vine-branch, which is among the trees of the forest?

fili hominis quid fiet ligno vitis ex omnibus lignis nemorum quae sunt inter ligna silvarum

3 Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will [men] take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?

numquid tolletur de ea lignum ut fiat opus aut fabricabitur de ea paxillus ut dependeat in eo quodcumque vas

4 Behold, it is given to the fire for fuel: the fire consumeth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned; is it fit for [any] work?

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 no work; how much less when the fire hath consumed it, and it is burned, should it yet be used for any work?

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 saith the Lord Jehovah: As the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

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: they shall go forth from [one] fire, and [another] fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I [am] Jehovah when I set my face against them.

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 a desolation, because they have wrought unfaithfulness, saith the Lord Jehovah.

et dedero terram inviam et desolatam eo quod praevaricatores extiterint dicit Dominus Deus
