5 It was useless even before it was burned. Now that the fire has burned it and charred it, it is even more useless.”
6 Now this is what the Sovereign Lord is saying: “Just as a vine is taken from the forest and burned, so I will take the people who live in Jerusalem
7 and will punish them. They have escaped one fire, but now fire will burn them up. When I punish them, you will know that I am the Lord.
8 They have been unfaithful to me, and so I will make the country a wilderness.” The Sovereign Lord has spoken.
