### Ezekiel 15
1 AND the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, ^1
2 Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, _or_ _than_ a branch which is among the trees of the forest? ^2
3 Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will _men_ take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon? ^3
4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devours both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it meet for _any_ work? ^4
5 Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less shall it be meet yet for _any_ work, when the fire has devoured it, and it is burned? ^5
6 ΒΆ Therefore 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 will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem. ^6
7 And I will set my face against them; they shall go out from _one_ fire, and _another_ fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I _am_ the LORD, when I set my face against them. ^7
8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD. ^8
