Ezequiel 15:4 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 15:4

Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel,
That is; a vine tree when cut down, or a branch when cut off, it is good for nothing else; and that is the use it is generally put to; see ( John 15:6 ) ; and this, it is suggested, would be the end of the Jewish nation; who were become by their sins like a wild vine, and were fit fuel for the fire of divine wrath: the fire devoureth both the ends of it;
the branch cast into it, and so is quickly consumed. Kimchi explains this by ( Isaiah 9:12 ) ; "the Syrians before, and the Philistines behind, and they devour Israel with open mouth"; and Abendana of the ten tribes; but it seems only to design how soon the fire takes it; and how inevitable the consumption is when it is fired at both ends: and the midst of it is burnt:
presently; it being dried, and reduced to a brand by the heat of the fire at both ends: this Kimchi interprets of the city of Jerusalem, which was in the midst of the land: is it meet for [any] work?
no; for if it was not fit for any work when cut down, or cut off, much less when burnt in the fire.

Ezequiel 15:4 In-Context

2 Filho do homem, que mais do que qualquer outro pau é o da videira, o sarmento que está entre as árvores do bosque?
3 Tema-se dele madeira para fazer alguma obra? ou toma-se dele alguma estaca, para se lhe pendurar algum traste?
4 Eis que é lançado no fogo, para servir de pasto; o fogo devora ambas as suas extremidades, e o meio dele fica também queimado; serve para alguma obra?
5 Ora, quando estava inteiro, nĂŁo servia para obra alguma; quanto menos, estando consumido ou carbonizado pelo fogo, se faria dele qualquer obra?
6 Portanto, assim diz o Senhor Deus: Como entre as árvores do bosque é o pau da videira, que entreguei para servir de pasto ao fogo, assim entregarei os habitantes de Jerusalém.
