15:2 O mortal, how does the wood of the vine surpass all other wood, the vine branch that is among the trees of the forest?
15:3 Is wood taken from it to make anything? Does one take a peg from it on which to hang any object?
15:4 It is put in 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?
15:5 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!
15:6 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 I will give up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15:7 I will set my face against them; although they escape from the fire, the fire shall still consume them, and you shall know that I am the Lord when I set my face against them.
15:8 And I will make the land desolate because they have acted faithlessly, says the Lord God.
