As a vine cut down is profitable to no use, but to burn: 6. so the Jews (and other people) separated from the Church, are to be burned in the fire.As a vine cut downe is profitable to no vse, but to burne: 6. so the Iewes (and other people) separated from the Church, are to be burned in the fire.✦
And the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:AND the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens :
2Son of man, what shall be made of the wood of the vine of all the trees of the woods, that are among the trees of the forests?Sonne of man, what shal be made of ∷ the wood of the vine of al the trees of the woods, that are among the trees of the forests?✦[Fili hominis, quid fiet de ligno vitis, ex omnibus lignis nemorum quæ sunt inter ligna silvarum ?
3Shall there be taken wood of it, that a work may be made, or shall a paxillus: a wooden peg be made thereof, that any vessel may hang thereon?Shal there be taken wood of it, that a worke may be made, or shal a pinne be made therof, that anie vessel may hang theron?numquid tolletur de ea lignum ut fiat opus, aut fabricabitur de ea paxillus ut dependeat in eo quodcumque vas ?
4Behold it is given to the fire for escam: as fuel to be consumed: the fire hath consumed both parts thereof, and the medietas: the middle part thereof is brought into ashes: why, shall it be profitable for a work?Behold it is geuen to the fire for food: the fire hath consumed both partes therof, and the middes therof is brought into ashes: why, shal it be profitable for a worke?✦Ecce igni datum est in escam : utramque partem ejus consumpsit ignis, et medietas ejus redacta est in favillam : numquid utile erit ad opus ?
5Yea when it was whole, it was not fit for a work: how much more when the fire hath devoured, and burnt it, shall no work be made thereof?Yea when it was whole, it was not fit for a worke: how much more when the fire hath deuoured, and burnt it, shal no worke be made therof?✦Etiam cum esset integrum, non erat aptum ad opus : quanto magis cum illud ignis devoraverit et combusserit, nihil ex eo fiet operis ?
6Therefore thus saith our Lord God: As the wood of the vine among the trees of the forests, which I have given to the fire to be devoured, so will I deliver the inhabitants of Jerusalem.Therfore thus saith our Lord God: As the wood of the vine among the trees of the forests, which I haue geuen to the fire to be deuoured, so wil I deliuer the inhabitants of Ierusalem.Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Quomodo lignum vitis inter ligna silvarum, quod dedi igni ad devorandum, sic tradam habitatores Jerusalem.
7And I will set my face against them: out of the fire shall they come forth, and fire shall consume them: and you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall set my face against them,And I wil set my face against them: ∷ out of the fire shal they come forth, and fire shal consume them: & you shal know that I am the Lord, when I shal set my face against them,Et ponam faciem meam in eos : de igne egredientur, et ignis consumet eos : et scietis quia ego Dominus, cum posuero faciem meam in eos,
8and shall make their land not inviam: pathless, untrodden, and desolate, because they have been prævaricatores: those who lie or equivocate; transgressors, breakers of the covenant, saith our Lord God.and shal make their land not passable, and desolate, because they haue bene preuaricatours, sayth our Lord God.et dedero terram inviam et desolatam, eo quod prævaricatores extiterint, dicit Dominus Deus.]
