26:014:017 Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and
say, Sword, go
through
the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:
26:014:018 Though these three men were in it, as I
live, saith the Lord
god,
they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but
they
only
shall be delivered themselves.
26:014:019 Or if I send a pestilence into that land,
and pour out my fury
upon
it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:
26:014:020 Though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it,
as I live, saith the
Lord
god, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter;
they
shall
but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
26:014:021 For thus saith the Lord god; How much
more when I send my four
sore
judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine,
and
the
noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from
it man
and
beast?
26:014:022 Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant
that shall be
brought
forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall
come
forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their
doings:
and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that
I
have
brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I
have
brought
upon it.
26:014:023 And they shall comfort you, when ye see
their ways and their
doings:
and ye shall know that I have not done without cause
all
that I have done in it, saith the Lord god.
26:015:001 And the word of the lord came unto me, saying,
26:015:002 Son of man, what is the vine tree more
than any tree, or than
a
branch which is among the trees of the forest?
26:015:003 Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work?
or will men take a
pin
of it to hang any vessel thereon?
26:015:004 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?
26:015:005 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?
26:015:006 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.
26:015:007 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.
26:015:008 And I will make the land desolate, because
they have committed
a
trespass, saith the Lord god.
