15:6 “Therefore, this is what the sovereign Lord says: Like the wood of the vine is among the trees of the forest which I have provided as fuel for the fire – so I will provide the residents of Jerusalem 1 as fuel. 2 15:7 I will set 3 my face against them – although they have escaped from the fire, 4 the fire will still consume them! Then you will know that I am the Lord, when I set my face against them. 15:8 I will make 5 the land desolate because they have acted unfaithfully, declares the sovereign Lord.”
