World English Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
1Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:
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[Fili hominis, quid fiet de ligno vitis, ex omnibus lignis nemorum quæ sunt inter ligna silvarum?
3Will wood be taken of it to make anything? Will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel on it?
3numquid tolletur de ea lignum ut fiat opus, aut fabricabitur de ea paxillus ut dependeat in eo quodcumque vas?
4Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire has devoured both its ends, and the middle of it is burned. Is it profitable for any work?
4Ecce igni datum est in escam: utramque partem ejus consumpsit ignis, et medietas ejus redacta est in favillam: numquid utile erit ad opus?
5Behold, when it was whole, it was suitable for no work. How much less, when the fire has devoured it, and it has been burned, will it yet be suitable for any work?”
5Etiam cum esset integrum, non erat aptum ad opus: quanto magis cum illud ignis devoraverit et combusserit, nihil ex eo fiet operis?
6Therefore the Lord GOD says: “As the vine wood among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
6Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Quomodo lignum vitis inter ligna silvarum, quod dedi igni ad devorandum, sic tradam habitatores Jerusalem.
7I will set my face against them. They will go out from the fire, but the fire will still devour them. Then you will know that I am the LORD, when I set my face against them.
7Et ponam faciem meam in eos: de igne egredientur, et ignis consumet eos: et scietis quia ego Dominus, cum posuero faciem meam in eos,
8I will make the land desolate, because they have acted unfaithfully,” says the Lord GOD.
8et dedero terram inviam et desolatam, eo quod prævaricatores extiterint, dicit Dominus Deus.]
