{2} "Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.

{3} "You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

{4} "*Abide* in Me, and I in you.

As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it *abides* in the vine, so neither can you unless you *abide* in Me. {5} "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who *abides* in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.

{6} "If anyone does not *abide* in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.

(Ezek 15 NNAS)  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.

 

(Hosea 10:1-2 NNAS)  Israel is a luxuriant vine; He produces fruit for himself.

The more his fruit, The more altars he made; The richer his land, The better he made the sacred pillars.

{2} Their heart is faithless; Now they must bear their guilt.

The LORD will break down their altars And destroy their sacred pillars.
