Ezekiel 15

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens

Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?

fili hominis quid fiet ligno vitis ex omnibus lignis nemorum quae sunt inter ligna silvarum

Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?

numquid tolletur de ea lignum ut fiat opus aut fabricabitur de ea paxillus ut dependeat in eo quodcumque vas

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?

ecce igni datum est in escam utramque partem eius consumpsit ignis et medietas eius redacta est in favillam numquid utile erit ad opus

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?

etiam cum esset integrum non erat aptum ad opus quanto magis cum ignis illud devoraverit et conbuserit nihil ex eo fiet operis

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.

propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus quomodo lignum vitis inter ligna silvarum quod dedi igni ad devorandum sic tradidi habitatores Hierusalem

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.

et ponam faciem meam in eos de igne egredientur et ignis consumet eos et scietis quia ego Dominus cum posuero faciem meam in eos

And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.

et dedero terram inviam et desolatam eo quod praevaricatores extiterint dicit Dominus Deus
