Ezequiel 15
O Livro
Jerusalém, uma videira selvagem
15 Então veio até mim esta mensagem do Senhor: 2 “Homem mortal, para que servem videiras selvagens? Serão úteis como árvores? Serão mais valiosas do que qualquer outro ramo das árvores dos bosques? 3 Não, porque a madeira de videira não serve sequer para fazer estacas ou cabides! 4 Tudo aquilo para que serve é arder, e mesmo para isso não é grande coisa! 5 Portanto, é inútil, tanto antes como depois de ser queimada!
6 Ora o que eu pretendo dizer com isto é o seguinte, diz o Senhor Deus: O povo de Jerusalém é como as videiras selvagens, sem utilidade nenhuma antes de ser queimado e também depois de arder! 7 Eu estarei atento contra eles, para garantir que se escaparem dum fogo venham a cair noutro, e logo saberão que eu sou o Senhor. 8 Arruinarei a terra, pois prestam culto a ídolos, diz o Senhor Deus!”
Ezekiel 15
King James Version
15 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
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?
3 Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it meet for any work?
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 hath devoured it, and it is burned?
6 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.
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.
8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord God.
Ezekiel 15
New International Version
Jerusalem as a Useless Vine
15 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, how is the wood of a vine(A) different from that of a branch from any of the trees in the forest? 3 Is wood ever taken from it to make anything useful?(B) Do they make pegs(C) from it to hang things on? 4 And after it is thrown on the fire as fuel and the fire burns both ends and chars the middle, is it then useful for anything?(D) 5 If it was not useful for anything when it was whole, how much less can it be made into something useful when the fire has burned it and it is charred?
6 “Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: As I have given the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest as fuel for the fire, so will I treat the people living in Jerusalem. 7 I will set my face against(E) them. Although they have come out of the fire(F), the fire will yet consume them. And when I set my face against them, you will know that I am the Lord.(G) 8 I will make the land desolate(H) because they have been unfaithful,(I) declares the Sovereign Lord.”
