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? [Is it...: Heb. Will it prosper?]
			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# ? [meet: Heb. made fit]
			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. [committed...: Heb. trespassed a trespass]
