Chapter 15
Ezek LEB 15:1  And the word of Yahweh ⌞came⌟ to me, ⌞saying⌟,
Ezek LEB 15:2  “Son of man, how will the wood of the vine be ⌞better than⌟ ⌞any of the wood of⌟ the branch which is among the trees of the forest?
Ezek LEB 15:3  Can wood be taken from it to make anything, or can they take a tent peg from it to hang on it any object?
Ezek LEB 15:4  Look! It is given to the fire as fuel. The fire will consume two of its ends, and its middle will be charred. Is it useful for anything?
Ezek LEB 15:5  Look! ⌞When it is in perfect condition⌟, it will not be used for anything, ⌞how much less⌟ ⌞when the fire has consumed it⌟ and it is charred; and then can it be used again for anything?
Ezek LEB 15:6  Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: ⌞Just like⌟ the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest which I gave to the fire for fuel, so I have given the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Ezek LEB 15:7  And I will set my face against them. From the fire they may⌞escape⌟, but the fire will yet consume them, and they will know that I am Yahweh ⌞when I set my face against them⌟.
Ezek LEB 15:8  And I will make the land a desolation because ⌞they acted very unfaithfully⌟!” ⌞declares⌟ the Lord Yahweh.
