We spread our branches west to the Mediterranean Sea; our shoots spread east to the Euphrates River.But now, why have you broken down our walls so that all who pass by may steal our fruit?The wild boar from the forest devours it, and the wild animals feed on it.Come back, we beg you, O God of Heaven’s Armies. Look down from heaven and see our plight. Take care of this grapevinethat you yourself have planted, this son you have raised for yourself.For we are chopped up and burned by our enemies. May they perish at the sight of your frown.

“ Son of man, how does a grapevine compare to a tree? Is a vine’s wood as useful as the wood of a tree?Can its wood be used for making things, like pegs to hang up pots and pans?No, it can only be used for fuel, and even as fuel, it burns too quickly.Vines are useless both before and after being put into the fire!“ And this is what the Sovereign Lord says: The people of Jerusalem are like grapevines growing among the trees of the forest. Since they are useless, I have thrown them on the fire to be burned.And I will see to it that if they escape from one fire, they will fall into another. When I turn against them, you will know that I am the Lord.
