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 to me, saying,

2 Son of man, what is the vine-tree more than any branching tree which is among the trees of the woods?

3 Will its wood be used for any work? do men make of it a pin for hanging any vessel on?

4 See, it is put into the fire for burning: the fire has made a meal of its two ends and the middle part of it is burned; is it good for any work?

5 Truly, before it was cut down, it was not used for any purpose: how much less, when the fire has made a meal of it and it is burned, will it be made into anything?
