Ezechiele 15

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens:	1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “ Fili hominis, quid habet lignum vitis prae omnibus lignis sarmentorum, quae sunt inter ligna silvarum?	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 Numquid tolletur de ea lignum, ut fiat opus, aut fabricabitur de ea paxillus, ut dependeat in eo quodcumque vas?	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 Ecce igni datum est in escam, utramque partem eius consumpsit ignis, et medietas eius adusta est; numquid utile erit ad opus?	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 Etiam cum esset integrum, non erat aptum ad opus; quanto magis cum ignis illud devoraverit et combusserit, nihil ex eo fiet operis.	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 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Quomodo lignum vitis inter ligna silvarum, quod dedi igni ad devorandum, sic tradam habitatores Ierusalem.	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 Et ponam faciem meam in eos: de igne egressi sunt, et ignis consumet eos. Et scietis quia ego Dominus, cum posuero faciem meam in eos	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 et dedero terram inviam et desolatam, eo quod praevaricatores exstiterint ”, dicit Dominus Deus.	8 And I shall have made their land a wilderness, and desolate, because they have been transgressors, saith the Lord God.
