15:2 Son of man, what makes the wood of the vine Better than the wood of branches found on the trees in the forest?
15:3 Can wood be taken from it to make something useful? Can someone make even a peg out of it on which to hang a vessel?
15:4 Of course not! If it is fed to the fire for fuel, and the fire devours both ends of it, Leaving the middle charred, is it useful for anything then?
15:5 Even when it is whole it cannot be used for anything; So when fire has devoured and charred it, how useful can it be?
15:6 Therefore, thus says the Lord God: Like vine wood among forest trees, which I have given as fuel for fire, So I will give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15:7 I will set my face against them: Although they have escaped the fire, the fire will still devour them; You shall know that I am the Lord, when I set my face against them.
15:8 Yes, I will make the land desolate, because they are so unfaithful— oracle of the Lord God.
