Ezekiel

15:1	[kjv]	And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
	[bbe]	And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
15:2	[kjv]	Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?
	[bbe]	Son of man, what is the vine-tree more than any branching tree which is among the trees of the woods?
15:3	[kjv]	Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
	[bbe]	Will its wood be used for any work? do men make of it a pin for hanging any vessel on?
15:4	[kjv]	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?
	[bbe]	See, it is put into the fire for burning: the fire has made a meal of its two ends and the middle part of it is burned; is it good for any work?
15:5	[kjv]	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?
	[bbe]	Truly, before it was cut down, it was not used for any purpose: how much less, when the fire has made a meal of it and it is burned, will it be made into anything?
15:6	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	For this cause the Lord has said: Like the vine-tree among the trees of the woods which I have given to the fire for burning, so will I give the people of Jerusalem.
15:7	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	And my face will be turned against them; and though they have come out of the fire they will be burned up by it; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord when my face is turned against them.
15:8	[kjv]	And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.
	[bbe]	And I will make the land a waste because they have done evil, says the Lord.
