<h3>Jerusalem like a Useless Vine</h3>15 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than any wood of a branch which is among the trees of the forest? 3 Can wood be taken from it to make anything, or can even a peg be taken from it on which to hang any utensil? 4 If it has been put into the fire for fuel, and the fire has consumed both of its ends and its middle part has been charred, is it then good for anything? 5 Behold, while it is intact, it is not made into anything. How much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it still be made into anything! 6 Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: ‘As the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem; 7 and I set My face against them. Though they have come out of the fire, yet the fire will consume them. Then you will know that I am the Lord, when I set My face against them. 8 So I will make the land desolate, because they have acted unfaithfully,’” declares the Lord God.

 1 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man,  how is the wood of the  vine better than any wood of a branch which is among the trees of the forest? 3 Can wood be taken from it to make  anything, or can even a peg be taken from it on which to hang any utensil? 4 If it has been put into the  fire for fuel, and the fire has consumed both of its ends and its middle part has been charred, is it then good for  anything? 5 Behold, while it is intact, it is not made into  anything. How much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it still be made into  anything! 6 Therefore, this is what the Lord  God says: ‘As the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem; 7 and I  set My face against them. Though they have  come out of the fire, yet the fire will consume them.

From Wikipedia: The New American Standard Bible (NASB) is an English translation of the Bible. Published by the Lockman Foundation, the first NASB text—a translation of the Gospel of John—was released in 1960. The NASB New Testament was released in 1963. The complete NASB Bible was released in 1971. The NASB is a revision of the American Standard Version.

The Lockman Foundation claims that the NASB "has been widely embraced as a literal and accurate English translation because it consistently uses the formal equivalence translation philosophy."
