Exegesis
A parallel ken natati {כֵּן נָתַתִּי | kên nā-ṯat-tî} ‘so I have given’ repeats this construction with et-yoshvei Yerushalayim {אֶת-יֹשְׁבֵי יְרוּשָׁלָם | ’et–yō-šê-wê yĕ-rū-šā-lā-yim} ‘the inhabitants of Jerusalem’, reinforcing the judicial verdict through chiastic repetition. The formal rendering adheres closely to Hebrew structure, while the dynamic translation clarifies the metaphor in natural English.
In context — Ezekiel 15:6
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 consuming , so have I given the inhabitants of Jerusalem.”
