Ezekiel 15

KING JAMES BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,	1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
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 shall be made of the wood of the vine, out of all the trees of the woods that are among the trees of the forests?
3 Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?	3 Shall wood be taken of if, to do any work, or shall a pin be made of it for any vessel to hang thereon?
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 Behold it is cast into the fire for fuel: the fire hath consumed both ends thereof, and the midst thereof is reduced to ashes: shall it be useful for any work?
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 Even when it was whole it was not fit for work: how much less, when the fire hath devoured and consumed it, shall any work be made of it?
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 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: As the vine tree among the trees of the forests which I have given to the fire to be consumed, so will I deliver up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
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 And I will set my face against them: they shall go out from fire, and fire shall consume them : and you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have set my face against them.
8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.	8 And I shall have made their land a wilderness, and desolate, because they have been transgressors, saith the Lord God.
