Ezekiel 15:5-7

New Century Version

⁵ When the vine was whole, it couldn’t be made into anything. When the fire has burned it completely, it certainly cannot be made into anything.”

⁶ So this is what the Lord God says: “Out of all the trees in the forest, I have given the wood of the vine as fuel for fire. In the same way I have given up the people who live in Jerusalem ⁷ and will turn against them. Although they came through one fire, fire will still destroy them. When I turn against them, you will know that I am the Lord.
