The actual, original, first printing of the 1611 King James Version (‘HE’ Bible) — Ezekiel Chapter 15.

CHAP. XV.

1 By the vnfitnesse of the Vine branch for any worke, 16 is shewed the reiection of Ierusalē.

¹ And the word of þ^e Lord came vnto me, saying.

² Sonne of man, What is the Uine tree more then any tree, or then a branch which is among the trees of the forrest?

³ Shall wood bee taken thereof to doe any worke? or, will men take a pin of it, to hang any vessell thereon?

⁴ Behold, it is cast into the fire for fewell: the fire deuoureth both the ends of it, and the middest of it is burnt. Is it meete for any worke?⁴

⁵ Behold, when it was whole it was meete for no worke: how much lesse shall it be meete yet for any worke, when the fire hath deuoured it, and it is burned?⁵

⁶ ¶ Therefore thus saith the Lord God; As the Uine tree among the trees of the forrest, which I haue giuen to the fire for fewell, so will I giue the inhabitants of Ierusalem.
