In just eight verses, the LORD compares the vine tree’s wood, useless for any craft, to Jerusalem’s coming judgment by fire.
Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
The LORD’s word came to me What is the vine tree more than any tree The vine branch amongst the trees of the forest
Will wood be taken of it to make anything Will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel on it Behold it is cast into the fire for fuel The fire has devoured both its ends The middle of it is burnt
Is it profitable for any work Behold when it was whole It was suitable for no work How much less when the fire has devoured it
When it has been burnt will it yet be suitable For any work As the vine wood amongst the trees of the forest Which I have given to the fire for fuel
So I will give the inhabitants of Jerusalem I will set my face against them They will go out from the fire But the fire will still devour them
The fire will still devour them Then you will know that I am the LORD When I set my face against them I will make the land desolate
Because they have acted unfaithfully The vine is given to the fire As fuel to burn and consume The land will be made desolate
The inhabitants of Jerusalem like the vine Cast into the fire for fuel Devoured and burnt Utterly destroyed and made desolate
The vine is not profitable for any work Neither fit for any purpose Cast into the fire to be consumed
