Ezekiel 15:6-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 Therefore, thus says the Lord God:
Like vine wood among forest trees,
which I have given as fuel for fire,
So I will give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
7 I will set my face against them:
Although they have escaped the fire,
the fire will still devour them;
You shall know that I am the Lord,
when I set my face against them.(A)
Ezekiel 15:6-7
New International Version
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(A) them. Although they have come out of the fire(B), the fire will yet consume them. And when I set my face against them, you will know that I am the Lord.(C)
Ezekiel 19:10-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Allegory of the Vine Branch
10 Your mother was like a leafy vine[a]
planted by water,
Fruitful and full of branches
because of abundant water.
11 One strong branch grew
into a royal scepter.
So tall it towered among the clouds,
conspicuous in height,
with dense foliage.(A)
12 But she was torn out in fury
and flung to the ground;
The east wind withered her up,
her fruit was plucked away;
Her strongest branch dried up,
fire devoured it.(B)
13 Now she is planted in a wilderness,
in a dry, parched land.(C)
14 Fire flashed from her branch,
and devoured her shoots;
Now she does not have a strong branch,
a royal scepter!(D)
This is a lamentation and serves as a lamentation.

Ezekiel 19:10-14
New International Version
10 “‘Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard[a](A)
planted by the water;(B)
it was fruitful and full of branches
because of abundant water.(C)
11 Its branches were strong,
fit for a ruler’s scepter.
It towered high
above the thick foliage,
conspicuous for its height
and for its many branches.(D)
12 But it was uprooted(E) in fury
and thrown to the ground.
The east wind(F) made it shrivel,
it was stripped of its fruit;
its strong branches withered
and fire consumed them.(G)
13 Now it is planted in the desert,(H)
in a dry and thirsty land.(I)
14 Fire spread from one of its main[b] branches
and consumed(J) its fruit.
No strong branch is left on it
fit for a ruler’s scepter.’(K)
“This is a lament(L) and is to be used as a lament.”
