Ezekiel, Chapter 15
1. And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
2. Son of man, What can the vine-tree be more than any other tree, -- any branch which hath been found among the trees of the forest?
3. Shall there be taken from it wood, to be made into any work? Or will men take therefrom a peg, to hang thereon any vessel?
4. Lo! into the fire, it is given up for fuel, -- The two ends thereof, doth the fire devour, And the middle thereof is charred, Is it fit for any work?
5. Lo! when it was yet whole, it could not be made into any work, -- how much less when !the fire hath devoured it. and it is charred, can it still be made into any work?
6. Therefore Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, As a vine-tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given up to the fire for fuel, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
7. Therefore will I set my face against them, Out of one fire, have they come forth But another fire, shall devour them, -- So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh, by my setting my face against them;
8. I will therefore give up the land as a desolation, -- because they have committed treachery, Declareth My Lord., Yahweh.

Text source: Public Domain: Rotherham s Emphasized Bible (abbreviated EBR to avoid confusion with the REB) is a translation of the Bible that uses various methods, such as emphatic idiom and special diacritical marks, to bring out nuances of the underlying Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic texts. It was produced by Joseph Bryant Rotherham, a bible scholar and minister of the Churches of Christ, who described his goal as placing the reader of the present time in as good a position as that occupied by the reader of the first century for understanding the Apostolic Writings.
