Jerusalem like a Useless Vine | ||||
 NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 1 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, | 1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, | 1 The LORD spoke his word to me. He said, | 1 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying, | 1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, | 2 "Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than any wood of a branch which is among the trees of the forest? | 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? | 2 "Son of man, what good is the wood from a vine? Is it better than the wood from a tree in the forest? | 2 Son of man, what is the vine tree more than any tree, the vine-branch which is among the trees of the forest? | 2 Son of man, what is the wood of the vine more than any wood, the vine-branch, which is among the trees of the forest? | 3 "Can wood be taken from it to make anything, or can men take a peg from it on which to hang any vessel? | 3 Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon? | 3 Do people use it to make something? Do they make a peg from it to hang things on? | 3 Shall wood be taken of it to make any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon? | 3 Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon? | 4 "If it has been put into the fire for fuel, and the fire has consumed both of its ends and its middle part has been charred, is it then useful for anything? | 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? | 4 No! It is only thrown into the fire as fuel. The fire burns up both its ends and chars its middle. Then can it be used to make anything? | 4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire has devoured both its ends, and its midst is burned: is it profitable for any work? | 4 Behold, it is given to the fire for fuel: the fire consumeth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned; is it fit for any work? | 5 "Behold, while it is intact, it is not made into anything. How much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it still be made into anything! | 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? | 5 When the vine was in perfect condition, it couldn't be made into anything. How can it be used to make anything after the fire has burned and charred it? | 5 Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less, when the fire has devoured it, and it is burned, shall it yet be meet for any work! | 5 Behold, when it was whole, it was used for no work; how much less when the fire hath consumed it, and it is burned, should it yet be used for any work? | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 "Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, 'As 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; | 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. | 6 "So this is what the Almighty LORD says: As a vine is taken from among the trees in the forest to be used to feed the fire, so I will take the people who live in Jerusalem to punish them. | 6 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: 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. | 6 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: As the wood of the vine 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 set My face against them. Though they have come out of the fire, yet the fire will consume them. Then you will know that I am the LORD, when I set My face against them. | 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. | 7 I will turn against the people of Jerusalem. Even though they have escaped one fire, another fire will burn them. Then they will know that I am the LORD, because I will turn against them. | 7 I will set my face against them; they shall go forth from the fire, but the fire shall devour them; and you shall know that I am Yahweh, when I set my face against them. | 7 And I will set my face against them: they shall go forth from one fire, and another fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah when I set my face against them. | 8 'Thus I will make the land desolate, because they have acted unfaithfully,'" declares the Lord GOD. | 8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD. | 8 I will turn the country into a wasteland because they have been unfaithful," declares the Almighty LORD. | 8 I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, says the Lord Yahweh. | 8 And I will make the land a desolation, because they have wrought unfaithfulness, saith the Lord Jehovah. |
