ASV_Strong : Ezekiel 15
1. And the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] came unto me[H559], saying,
2. Son[H1121] of man[H120], what is the vine[H1612] - tree[H6086] more than any tree[H6086], the vine-branch[H2156] which is among the trees[H6086] of the forest[H3293]?
3. Shall wood[H6086] be taken[H3947] thereof to make[H6213] any work[H4399]? or will men take[H3947] a pin[H3489] of it to hang[H8518] any vessel thereon[H3627]?
4. Behold[H5414], it is cast into the fire[H784] for fuel[H402]; the fire[H784] hath devoured[H398] both[H8147] the ends[H7098] of it[H8432], and the midst of it is burned[H2787]: is it profitable[H6743] for any work[H4399]?
5. Behold[H8549], when it was whole, it was meet[H6213] for no work[H4399]: how much less[H784], when the fire hath devoured[H398] it[H2787], and it is burned, shall it yet be meet[H6213] for any work[H4399]!
6. Therefore thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069]: As the vine[H1612] - tree[H6086] among the trees[H6086] of the forest[H3293], which I have given[H5414] to the fire[H784] for fuel[H402], so will I give[H5414] the inhabitants[H3427] of Jerusalem[H3389].
7. And I will set[H5414] my face[H6440] against them[H3318]; they shall go forth from the fire[H784], but the fire[H784] shall devour[H398] them[H3045]; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah[H3068], when I set[H7760] my face against them[H6440].
8. And I will make[H5414] the land[H776] desolate[H8077], because they have committed[H4603] a trespass[H4604], saith[H5002] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069].
