15:2 Human one, how is the vine’s wood better than the wood of all the trees in the forest?
15:3 Can you make anything useful from its wood? Can you make a peg from it and hang objects on it?
15:4 If not, can it be used as firewood? Fire would consume its two ends, but its middle part would only get charred. So is it useful for anything?
15:5 Look, even when it was whole, it was worthless. Now that the fire has consumed it, and it is charred, it’s even more useless.
15:6 Therefore, the Lord God proclaims: Of all the trees in the forest, I have decreed that the vine’s wood is destined to be consumed by fire. So also have I decreed for those who live in Jerusalem,
15:7 and I have confronted them. They may try to go out from the fire, but the fire will consume them. You will know that I am the Lord, because I confronted them.
15:8 I will turn the land into a ruin because they acted faithlessly, proclaims the Lord God.
