Prophetia Ezechielis

Ezechielis, chapter 15, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 15 Vulgate

   1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens:
   2 "Fili hominis, quid habet lignum vitis prae omnibus lignis sarmentorum, quae sunt inter ligna silvarum?
   3 Numquid tolletur de ea lignum, ut fiat opus, aut fabricabitur de ea paxillus, ut dependeat in eo quodcumque vas?
   4 Ecce igni datum est in escam, utramque partem eius consumpsit ignis, et medietas eius adusta est; numquid utile erit ad opus?
   5 Etiam cum esset integrum, non erat aptum ad opus; quanto magis cum ignis illud devoraverit et combusserit, nihil ex eo fiet operis.
   6 Propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus: Quomodo lignum vitis inter ligna silvarum, quod dedi igni ad devorandum, sic tradam habitatores Ierusalem.
   7 Et ponam faciem meam in eos: de igne egressi sunt, et ignis consumet eos. Et scietis quia ego Dominus, cum posuero faciem meam in eos
   8 et dedero terram inviam et desolatam, eo quod praevaricatores exstiterint", dicit Dominus Deus.

King James Version

   1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   2 Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?
   3 Shall wood be taken thereof to do 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 devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it meet for any work?
   5 Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less shall it be meet yet for any work, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned?
   6 ¶ Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; 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 out from one fire, and another fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I set my face against them.
   8 And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.
