Ezekiel 15 :: Bible in Basic English (BBE)

Eze 15:1

Eze 15:1And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Eze 15:2

Eze 15:2Son of man, what is the vine-tree more than any branching tree which is among the trees of the woods?

Eze 15:3

Eze 15:3Will its wood be used for any work? do men make of it a pin for hanging any vessel on?

Eze 15:4

Eze 15:4See, it is put into the fire for burning: the fire has made a meal of its two ends and the middle part of it is burned; is it good for any work?

Eze 15:5

Eze 15:5Truly, before it was cut down, it was not used for any purpose: how much less, when the fire has made a meal of it and it is burned, will it be made into anything?

Eze 15:6

Eze 15:6For this cause the Lord has said: Like the vine-tree among the trees of the woods which I have given to the fire for burning, so will I give the people of Jerusalem.

Eze 15:7

Eze 15:7And my face will be turned against them; and though they have come out of the fire they will be burned up by it; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord when my face is turned against them.

Eze 15:8

Eze 15:8And I will make the land a waste because they have done evil, says the Lord.
