1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, what is the vine-tree more than any tree, the vine-branch which is among the trees of the forest? 3 Shall wood be taken thereof to make any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon? 4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire hath devoured both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned: is it profitable for any work? 5 Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned, shall it yet be meet for any work! 6 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: 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. 7 And I will set my face against them; they shall go forth from the fire, but the fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when I set my face against them. 8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord Jehovah.

1 Viešpats kalbėjo man:2 "Žmogaus sūnau, kuo geresnis vynmedis, lyginant jį su kitais medžiais?3 Ar iš jo daro ką nors, ar naudoja padaryti kabliui kam nors pakabinti?4 Jis tinka tik sudeginti. Jo abu galai sudega, o vidurys pajuoduoja. Ar jis dar kam nors tinka?5 Jei sveikas netiko jokiam daiktui pagaminti, tai ką bekalbėti, kai jis sudegaiš jo jokios naudos!6 Todėl Viešpats Dievas sako: ‘Aš padarysiu Jeruzalės gyventojams kaip vynmedžiui, kuris sudega ugnyje.7 Aš atsigręšiu į juos, ir, išėję iš vienos ugnies, jie sudegs kitoje. Jūs žinosite, kad Aš esu Viešpats, kai atsigręšiu į juos.8 Kraštą paversiu dykuma, nes jie sulaužė ištikimybę man,sako Viešpats Dievas’ ".
