Ezekiel 15:6

Jerusalem A Useless Vine

⁵ While it is intact, it is not made into anything. How much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it still be made into anything? ⁶ Therefore, thus says the Lord God, ‘As the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem; ⁷ I will set my face against them (turn against them). Though they have come out of the fire, yet the fire will consume them. Then you will know that I am Jehovah, when I set my face against them.'

For This Cause

Fuel for the Fire

Inhabitants of Jerusalem
