KING JAMES BIBLE

1 AND the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?
3 Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it meet for any work?
5 Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less shall it be meet yet for any work, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned?
6 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
7 And I will set my face against them; they shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I set my face against them.
8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord God.

KING JAMES 1611

1And the word of þe Lord came vnto me, saying.

2Sonne of man, What is the Uine tree more then any tree, or then a branch which is among the trees of the forrest?

3Shall wood bee taken thereof to doe any worke? or, will men take a pin of it, to hang any vessell thereon?

4Behold, it is cast into the fire for fewell: the fire deuoureth both the ends of it, and the middest of it is burnt. Is it meete for any worke?

5Behold, when it was whole it was meete for no worke: how much lesse shall it be meete yet for any worke, when the fire hath deuoured it, and it is burned?

6 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; As the Uine tree among the trees of the forrest, which I haue giuen to the fire for fewell, so will I giue the inhabitants of Ierusalem.

7And I will set my face against them, they shall goe out from one fire, and another fire shall deuoure them, and ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I set my face against them.

8And I will make the land desolate, because they haue committed a trespasse, saith the Lord God.

THE NEW AMERICAN BIBLE

1 Thus the word of the LORD came to me:

2 Son of man, what makes the wood of the vine better than any other wood? That branch among the trees of the forest!

3 Can you use its wood to make anything worthwhile? Can you make even a peg from it, to hang on it any kind of vessel?

4 If you throw it on the fire as fuel and the fire devours both ends and even the middle is scorched, is it still good for anything?

5 Why, even when it was whole it was good for nothing; how much less, when the fire has devoured and scorched it, can it be used for anything!

6 Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD: Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have destined as fuel for the fire, do I make the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

7 I will set my face against them; they have escaped from the fire, but the fire shall devour them. Thus you shall know that I am the LORD, when I turn my face against them.

8 I will make the land a waste, because they have broken faith, says the Lord GOD.
