15:1  The word of Adonai came to me:
15:2  “Human being, why should wood from a grapevine be better than some other kind of wood, than some branch that one might find among the trees of the forest?
15:3  Its wood can’t be used to make anything, not even a pin on which to hang a pot.
15:4  So now it is thrown in the fire as fuel, the fire consumes both ends of it, and the middle of it is singed — is it useful now for making something?
15:5  When it was whole, it was good for nothing; so how much less, when the fire has consumed it, and it is singed, will it be useful for making something!
15:6  “So Adonai Elohim says this: ‘Like wood from the vine among the trees of the forest, which I consign to the fire as fuel, so I give those living in Yerushalayim.
15:7  I will set my face against them — they may have escaped one fire, but the fire will consume them yet. When I set my face against them, you will know that I am Adonai.
15:8  I will make the land desolate because they have dealt so treacherously,’ says Adonai Elohim.”
