< Ezekiel 15 >
1 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
2 “Son of man, is wood from a vine better than the wood from any other tree in the forest?
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 Can you make anything useful from vine wood? Can you use it to make even just a peg to hang up pots and pans?
¿ 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 No, you just throw it on the fire to keep the fire burning. Even then the fire burns both ends, but only chars the middle part. Can you use it for anything?
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 Even before you burned it you couldn't make it into anything useful. It's even less useful once the fire has burned and charred it!
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 So this is what the Lord God says: In the same way that I have taken the wood of a vine from the forest and thrown it on the fire to be burned, so I'm going to throw away 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 I will turn against them. While they might have escaped this fire, another fire is going to burn them up. When I turn against them, then you will know that I am the Lord.
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 I'm going to turn the country into a wasteland, because they were unfaithful to me, declares the Lord God.”
And I will make the land a desolation because they have acted unfaithfully unfaithfulness [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
