New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Ezekiel 14
21 For thus says the Lord God, "How much more when I send My four severe judgments against Jerusalem: sword, famine, wild beasts and plague to cut off man and beast from it!
22 Yet, behold, survivors will be left in it who will be brought out, both sons and daughters. Behold, they are going to come forth to you and you will see their conduct and actions; then you will be comforted for the calamity which I have brought against Jerusalem for everything which I have brought upon it.
23 Then they will comfort you when you see their conduct and actions, for you will know that I have not done in vain whatever I did to it," declares the Lord God.
Ezekiel 15
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 men take a peg from it on which to hang any vessel?
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 useful 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, thus says the Lord God, ’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 Thus I will make the land desolate, because they have acted unfaithfully,’" declares the Lord God.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
