Story of the Vine

15 The Lord spoke his word to me. He said: “Human being, what good is the wood of the vine? Is it better than the wood of a tree in the forest? Can wood be taken from the vine to make anything? Can you use it to make a peg on which to hang something? The vine is thrown into the fire for fuel. The fire burns up both ends and starts to burn the middle. Then is it useful for anything? When the vine was whole, it couldn’t be made into anything. When the fire has burned it completely, it certainly cannot be made into anything.”

So this is what the Lord God says: “Out of all the trees in the forest, I gave the wood of the vine as fuel for fire. In the same way I have given up the people who live in Jerusalem. I will turn against them. They came through one fire. But fire will still destroy them. When I turn against them, you will know that I am the Lord. So I will make the land empty. This is because the people have not been loyal, says the Lord God.”
