Ezekiel 15:3-8

Thomson(i) 3 Can men use the wood of it for any kind of workmanship? Can they make a pin of it to hang thereon any utensil? 4 Is it not in a peculiar manner doomed to be consumed by fire? Every year the fire consumeth what is lopped from it. And if a bit of it is left, is it fit for any kind of workmanship? 5 Even when entire it will be unfit for any work: how then, when fire hath burned it to a brand, can it serve for any work? 6 Say therefore, Thus saith the Lord, Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have doomed to be destroyed by fire, so have I doomed the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 7 And I will set my face against them. When they escape out of one fire another shall devour them. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I set my face against them. 8 And I will make the land a desolation for their apostacy, saith the Lord.
