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 Hijo de hombre, ¿en qué es mejor la madera de la vid que cualquier otra rama de árbol que haya entre los árboles del bosque?
3 ¿Se toma madera de ella para hacer alguna obra? ¿Se toma acaso una estaca de ella para colgar alguna vasija?
4 Si en el fuego se ha puesto para consumirla y el fuego ha consumido los dos extremos, también la parte de en medio ha sido quemada, ¿es aún útil para algo?
5 Si cuando estaba intacta, no se utilizaba para nada, ¡cuánto menos, cuando la haya consumido el fuego y esté quemada, se podrá hacer aún algo de ella!
6 Por tanto, así dice el Señor DIOS: "Como la madera de la vid entre los árboles del bosque, que he entregado al fuego para consumirla, así he entregado yo a los habitantes de Jerusalén.
