Ezekiel 15:1 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 15:1

And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying.
] The destruction of Jerusalem had been represented under various types and similes before, as of a siege, and a sharp razor; and here of a fruitless and useless vine, only fit for the fire; which was delivered out by a spirit of prophecy. The Targum calls it the word of prophecy, as usual.

Ezekiel 15:1 In-Context

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

2 Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree? What is the branch among the trees of the forest?

3 Shall wood be taken from it to do a work? Will men take a peg from it to hang any vessel thereon?

4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devours both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it meet for any work?

5 Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work; how much less afterward shall it be meet for any work when the fire has devoured it, and it is burned?
