De nutteloze wijnstokken
15 Toen kreeg ik de volgende boodschap van de Here: 2 ‘Mensenzoon, is het hout van een wijnstok beter dan ander hout uit het bos? Is het net zo bruikbaar als hout van bomen? 3 Nee, want hout van een wijnstok kan zelfs niet worden gebruikt voor een rek waaraan potten en pannen worden opgehangen! 4 Het kan alleen maar dienen als brandhout, het is nergens anders geschikt voor. 5,6 Daarom is het zowel vóór als na het verbranden waardeloos. Dit bedoel Ik,’ zegt de Oppermachtige Here, ‘de inwoners van Jeruzalem lijken op wijnstokken uit het bos. Nutteloos voordat zij worden verbrand en nog nuttelozer na het verbranden! 7 Ik zal Mij tegen hen keren en ervoor zorgen dat als zij aan het ene vuur ontsnappen, zij in het volgende vuur zullen vallen, en dan zult u weten dat Ik de Here ben. 8 Ik zal het land tot een woestenij maken, omdat zij Mij ontrouw zijn geworden,’ zegt de Oppermachtige Here.

Jerusalem as a Useless Vine
15 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, how is the wood of a vine(A) different from that of a branch from any of the trees in the forest? 3 Is wood ever taken from it to make anything useful?(B) Do they make pegs(C) from it to hang things on? 4 And after it is thrown on the fire as fuel and the fire burns both ends and chars the middle, is it then useful for anything?(D) 5 If it was not useful for anything when it was whole, how much less can it be made into something useful when the fire has burned it and it is charred?
6 “Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: As I have given the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest as fuel for the fire, so will I treat the people living in Jerusalem. 7 I will set my face against(E) them. Although they have come out of the fire(F), the fire will yet consume them. And when I set my face against them, you will know that I am the Lord.(G) 8 I will make the land desolate(H) because they have been unfaithful,(I) declares the Sovereign Lord.”

Jerusalem, a Useless Vine
15 And the word of the Lord came to me: 2 (A)“Son of man, how does (B)the wood of the vine surpass any wood, the vine branch that is among the trees of the forest? 3 Is wood taken from it to make anything? Do people take (C)a peg from it to hang any vessel on it? 4 (D)Behold, 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? 5 (E)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! 6 Therefore thus says the Lord God: (F)Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, (G)which I have given to the fire for fuel, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 7 (H)And I will set my face against them. Though (I)they escape from the fire, the fire shall yet consume them, (J)and you will know that I am the Lord, (K)when I set my face against them. 8 (L)And I will make the land desolate, because (M)they have acted faithlessly, declares the Lord God.”
