Ezekiel 15 (WEBP)

[1] Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
[2] “Son of man, what is the vine tree more than any tree, the vine branch which is among the trees of the forest?
[3] Will wood be taken of it to make anything? Will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel on it?
[4] Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire has devoured both its ends, and the middle of it is burned. Is it profitable for any work?
[5] Behold, when it was whole, it was suitable for no work. How much less, when the fire has devoured it, and it has been burned, will it yet be suitable for any work?”
[6] Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “As the vine wood among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
[7] I will set my face against them. They will go out from the fire, but the fire will still devour them. Then you will know that I am Yahweh, when I set my face against them.
[8] I will make the land desolate, because they have acted unfaithfully,” says the Lord Yahweh.

Young’s Literal Translation

Ezekiel 15 (YLT)

[1] And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
[2] ‘Son of man, What is the vine-tree more than any tree? The vine-branch that hath been, Among trees of the forest?
[3] Is wood taken from it to use for work? Do they take of it a pin to hang any vessel on it?
[4] Lo, to the fire it hath been given for fuel, Its two ends hath the fire eaten, And its midst hath been scorched! Is it profitable for work?
[5] Lo, in its being perfect it is not used for work, How much less, when fire hath eaten of it, And it is scorched, Hath it been used yet for work?
[6] Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: As the vine-tree among trees of the forest, That I have given to the fire for fuel, So I have given the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
[7] And I have set My face against them, From the fire they have gone forth, And the fire doth consume them, And ye have known that I am Jehovah, In My setting My face against them.
[8] And I have made the land a desolation, Because they have committed a trespass, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!’
