¹ And the word of the LORD came to me:

² ⓐ “Son of man, how doesⓑ the wood of the vine surpass any wood, the vine branch that is among the trees of the forest?

³ Is wood taken from it to make anything? Do people takeⓒ a peg from it to hang any vessel on it?

⁴ ⓓ Behold, it is given to the fire for fuel. When the fire has consumed both ends of it, and the middle of it is charred, is it useful for anything?

⁵ ⓔ Behold, when it was whole, it was used for nothing. How much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it ever 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 given to the fire for fuel, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

⁷ ⓗ And I will set my face against them. Thoughⓘ they escape from the fire, the fire shall yet consume them,ⓙ and you will know that I am the LORD,ⓚ when I set my face against them.

⁸ ⓛ And I will make the land desolate, becauseⓜ they have acted faithlessly, declares the Lord GOD.”
