Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
1ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρός με λέγων·
2“Son of man, how does the wood of the vine surpass any other branch among the trees in the forest?
2καὶ σύ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, τί ἂν γένοιτο τὸ ξύλον τῆς ἀμπέλου ἐκ πάντων τῶν ξύλων τῶν κλημάτων τῶν ὄντων ἐν τοῖς ξύλοις τοῦ δρυμοῦ;
3Can wood be taken from it to make something useful? Or can one make from it a peg on which to hang utensils?
3εἰ λήψονται ἐξ αὐτῆς ξύλον τοῦ ποιῆσαι εἰς ἐργασίαν; εἰ λήψονται ἐξ αὐτῆς πάσσαλον τοῦ κρεμάσαι ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν πᾶν σκεῦος;
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?
4πάρεξ πυρὶ δέδοται εἰς ἀνάλωσιν, τὴν κατ᾿ ἐνιαυτὸν κάθαρσιν ἀπ᾿ αὐτῆς ἀναλίσκει τὸ πῦρ, καὶ ἐκλείπει εἰς τέλος· μὴ χρήσιμον ἔσται εἰς ἐργασίαν;
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!
5οὐδὲ ἔτι αὐτοῦ ὄντος ὁλοκλήρου οὐκ ἔσται εἰς ἐργασίαν. μὴ ὅτι ἐὰν καὶ πῦρ αὐτὸ ἀναλώσῃ εἰς τέλος, εἰ ἔτι ἔσται εἰς ἐργασίαν;
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.
6διὰ τοῦτο εἰπόν· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ὃν τρόπον τὸ ξύλον τῆς ἀμπέλου ἐν τοῖς ξύλοις τοῦ δρυμοῦ, ὃ δέδωκα αὐτὸ πυρὶ εἰς ἀνάλωσιν, οὕτως δέδωκα τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ἱερουσαλήμ.
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.
7καὶ δώσω τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς· ἐκ τοῦ πυρὸς ἐξελεύσονται, καὶ πῦρ αὐτοὺς καταφάγεται, καὶ ἐπιγνώσονται ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος ἐν τῷ στηρίσαι με τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς.
8Thus I will make the land desolate, because they have acted unfaithfully,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
8καὶ δώσω τὴν γῆν εἰς ἀφανισμόν, ἀνθ᾿ ὧν παρέπεσον παραπτώματι, λέγει Κύριος.
