Yechezkel 15
Yechezkel (Book of Ezekiel), Chapter 15
'"`UNIQ--named-00000000-QINU`"'1 And the word of HaShem came unto me, saying:
'"`UNIQ--named-00000001-QINU`"'2 'Son of man, what is the vine-tree more than any tree, the vine branch which grew up among the trees of the forest?
'"`UNIQ--named-00000002-QINU`"'3 Shall wood be taken thereof to make any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
'"`UNIQ--named-00000003-QINU`"'4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire hath devoured both the ends of it, and the midst of it is singed; is it profitable for any work?
'"`UNIQ--named-00000004-QINU`"'5 Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work; how much less, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is singed, shall it yet be meet for any work?
'"`UNIQ--named-00000005-QINU`"'6 Therefore thus saith the L-rd GOD: As the vine-tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so do I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000006-QINU`"'7 And I will set My face against them; out of the fire are they come forth, and the fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am HaShem, when I set My face against them.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000007-QINU`"'8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have acted treacherously, saith the L-rd GOD.'
