Ezekiel 15

KING JAMES BIBLE	VULGATA
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,	1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens :
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 Fili hominis, quid fiet de ligno vitis, ex omnibus lignis nemorum quæ sunt inter ligna silvarum ?
3 Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?	3 numquid tolletur de ea lignum ut fiat opus, aut fabricabitur de ea paxillus ut dependeat in eo quodcumque vas ?
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 Ecce igni datum est in escam : utramque partem ejus consumpsit ignis, et medietas ejus redacta est in favillam : numquid utile erit ad opus ?
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 Etiam cum esset integrum, non erat aptum ad opus : quanto magis cum illud ignis devoraverit et combusserit, nihil ex eo fiet operis ?
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 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Quomodo lignum vitis inter ligna silvarum, quod dedi igni ad devorandum, sic tradam habitatores 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 Et ponam faciem meam in eos : de igne egredientur, et ignis consumet eos : et scietis quia ego Dominus, cum posuero faciem meam in eos,
8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.	8 et dedero terram inviam et desolatam, eo quod prævaricatores extiterint, dicit Dominus Deus.
