Ezekiel 15:5 in Context — Ezekiel 15

3 Prend-on de ce bois pour fabriquer un ouvrage? En tire-t-on une cheville pour y suspendre un objet quelconque?

4 Voici, on le met au feu pour le consumer; Le feu en consume les deux bouts, et le milieu brûle: Sera-t-il bon à quelque chose?

5 Voici, lorsqu’il était entier, on n’en faisait aucun ouvrage; Combien moins, lorsque le feu l’a consumé et qu’il est brûlé, En pourra-t-on faire quelque ouvrage?

6 C’est pourquoi ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Comme le bois de la vigne parmi les arbres de la forêt, Ce bois que je livre au feu pour le consumer, Ainsi je livrerai les habitants de Jérusalem.

7 Je tournerai ma face contre eux; Ils sont sortis du feu, et le feu les consumera. Et vous saurez que je suis l’Éternel, Quand je tournerai ma face contre eux.
