Locuitorii Ierusalimului, asemănaţi cu lemnul de viţă
15 Cuvântul Domnului mi-a vorbit astfel: 2 „Fiul omului, ce are lemnul de viţă mai mult decât orice alt lemn, viţele-de-vie mai mult decât cele ce sunt printre copacii din pădure? 3 Ia oare cineva din lemnul acesta ca să facă vreo lucrare? Face cineva din el vreun cârlig de atârnat ceva în el? 4 Iată că este pus pe foc(A) să ardă. După ce îi arde focul cele două capete şi mijlocul, mai poate fi el bun de ceva? 5 Iată, când era întreg, nu se putea face nimic din el. Cu cât mai puţin acum, după ce l-a mistuit şi l-a ars focul, s-ar mai putea face vreo lucrare din el?” 6 De aceea, aşa vorbeşte Domnul, Dumnezeu: „Ca lemnul de viţă dintre copacii din pădure, pe care-l pun pe foc să-l ard, aşa voi da şi pe locuitorii Ierusalimului. 7 Îmi voi întoarce Faţa(B) împotriva lor; au ieşit(C) din foc, dar focul îi va arde de tot. Şi veţi şti(D) că Eu sunt Domnul când Îmi voi întoarce Faţa împotriva lor. 8 Voi preface ţara într-un pustiu, pentru că au fost necredincioşi”, zice Domnul, Dumnezeu.

The Outcast Vine
15 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 2 “Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than any other wood, the vine branch which is among the trees of the forest? 3 Is wood taken from it to make any object? Or can men make a peg from it to hang any vessel on? 4 Instead, (A)it is thrown into the fire for fuel; the fire devours both ends of it, and its middle is burned. Is it useful for any work? 5 Indeed, when it was whole, no object could be made from it. How much less will it be useful for any work when the fire has devoured it, and it is burned?
6 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give up the inhabitants of Jerusalem; 7 and (B)I will set My face against them. (C)They will go out from one fire, but another fire shall devour them. (D)Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I set My face against them. 8 Thus I will make the land desolate, because they have persisted in unfaithfulness,’ says the Lord God.”

Chapter 15[a]
The Useless Vine. 1 This word of the Lord came to me:
2 Son of man, how is the wood of the vine
better than any other wood,
the vine branch from a tree in the forest?
3 Is its wood used to make anything?
Are pegs fashioned from it to hang anything?
4 If it is thrown on the fire for fuel,
and the fire consumes both ends and chars the middle,
is it useful for anything?
5 When it was whole,
it served no purpose.
How much less, when the fire has consumed it
and it is charred,
can it be used for anything?
6 Therefore, thus says the Lord God:
Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest
that I have thrown on the fire for fuel,
so will I treat the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
7 I have set my face against them.
Although they escape from the fire,
that fire will still devour them.
And you will know that I am the Lord
when I turn my face against them.
8 I will reduce the entire land into a desolate waste
because they have been unfaithful,
says the Lord God.
Footnotes
- Ezekiel 15:1 Ezekiel likes allegories and parables (Ezek 17:2). We have already met in Isaiah, the song of the disappointed vineyard owner (Isa 5:7). A vineyard was valuable for its fruit, not for its wood.

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.”
