Itinulad sa Baging na Ligaw ang Jerusalem

15 Sinabi sa akin ni Yahweh, “Ezekiel, anak ng tao, ano ba ang kahigtan ng puno ng ubas kaysa punongkahoy sa gubat? Mayroon ba itong ibang mapaggagamitan? Maaari ba itong gawing tulos o sabitan ng kagamitan? Hindi! Ito ay panggatong lamang. At kung masunog na ito'y wala nang silbi. Kung noong buo pa ito ay wala nang mapaggamitan, gaano pa kung uling na. Lalong wala nang gamit!”

Kaya naman ipinapasabi ni Yahweh: “Kung paanong ang baging ay kinukuha sa gubat upang igatong, gayon ang gagawin ko sa mga taga-Jerusalem. Tatalikuran ko sila. Makatakas man sila sa apoy, ito rin ang papatay sa kanila. At makikilala ninyong ako si Yahweh kapag naparusahan ko na sila. Ang lupaing iyon ay gagawin kong pook ng lagim pagkat hindi sila naging tapat sa akin.”

Jerusalem as a Useless Vine

15 The word of the Lord came to me: “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? Is wood ever taken from it to make anything useful?(B) Do they make pegs(C) from it to hang things on? 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) 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?

“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. 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) I will make the land desolate(H) because they have been unfaithful,(I) declares the Sovereign Lord.”
