1And the word of YHWH came unto me, saying:

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?

3Shall wood be taken thereof to make any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?

4Behold, 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?

5Behold, 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?

6Therefore thus saith the Lord 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.

7And 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 YHWH, when I set My face against them.

8And I will make the land desolate, because they have acted treacherously, saith the Lord God.’
