15:2 “Son of man, what good is the wood from a vine? Is it better than the wood from a tree in the forest?
15:3 Do people use it to make something? Do they make a peg from it to hang things on?
15:4 No! It is only thrown into the fire as fuel. The fire burns up both its ends and chars its middle. Then can it be used to make anything?
15:5 When the vine was in perfect condition, it couldn’t be made into anything. How can it be used to make anything after the fire has burned and charred it?
15:6 “So this is what Adonay Yahweh says: As a vine is taken from among the trees in the forest to be used to feed the fire, so I will take the people who live in Jerusalem to punish them.
15:7 I will turn against the people of Jerusalem. Even though they have escaped one fire, another fire will burn them. Then they will know that I am Yahweh, because I will turn against them.
15:8 I will turn the country into a wasteland because they have been unfaithful,” declares Adonay Yahweh.
