Berean Standard Bible
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
1耶和華的話臨到我說：
2“Son of man, how does the wood of the vine surpass any other branch among the trees in the forest?
2「人子啊，葡萄樹比別樣樹有甚麼強處？葡萄枝比眾樹枝有甚麼好處？
3Can wood be taken from it to make something useful? Or can one make from it a peg on which to hang utensils?
3其上可以取木料做甚麼工用，可以取來做釘子掛甚麼器皿嗎？
4No, it is cast into the fire for fuel. The fire devours both ends, and the middle is charred. Can it be useful for anything?
4看哪，已經拋在火中當作柴燒，火既燒了兩頭，中間也被燒了，還有益於工用嗎？
5Even when it was whole, it could not be made useful. How much less can it ever be useful when the fire has consumed it and charred it!
5完全的時候尚且不合乎甚麼工用，何況被火燒壞，還能合乎甚麼工用嗎？」
6Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give up the people of Jerusalem.
6所以，主耶和華如此說：「眾樹以內的葡萄樹，我怎樣使它在火中當柴，也必照樣待 耶路撒冷 的居民。
7And I will set My face against them. Though they may have escaped the fire, yet another fire will consume them. And when I set My face against them, you will know that I am the LORD.
7我必向他們變臉；他們雖從火中出來，火卻要燒滅他們。我向他們變臉的時候，你們就知道我是耶和華。
8Thus I will make the land desolate, because they have acted unfaithfully,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
8我必使地土荒涼，因為他們行事干犯我。這是主耶和華說的。」
