Holy Bible - Revised Standard Version(RSV)

15:1	And the word of the LORD came to me:
15:2	'Son of man, how does the wood of the vine surpass any wood, the vine branch which is among the trees of the forest?
15:3	Is wood taken from it to make anything? Do men take a peg from it to hang any vessel on?
15:4	Lo, 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?
15:5	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!
15:6	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 will I give up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15:7	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.
15:8	And I will make the land desolate, because they have acted faithlessly, says the Lord GOD.'
