15:1  This message came to me from the LORD:
15:2  "Son of Man, how does wood from a vine compare to a branch taken from any of the trees in the forest?
15:3  Is wood ever taken from it to make anything practical? Can it even be made into a peg to hang something on?
15:4  After all, it's useful only for kindling a fire, isn't it? And once you've burnt up the ends and charred through the middle of it, is it useful for anything else?
15:5  If it was useless before it was burned, now that it's been burned and charred through, it's even more useless!
15:6  Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: "Just as the wood from a grape vine is removed from the forest and used for kindling fires, I'm giving the inhabitants of Jerusalem over
15:7  to punishment. They may have escaped one fire, but the coming fire will burn them up completely, and they will know that I am the LORD, when I set myself in opposition to them
15:8  and dedicate the land to desolation because of their unfaithful unbelief," declares the Lord GOD.
