Chapter 15

Chapter Overview:


God by the similitude of a vine, foreshews the utter destruction of Jerusalem, ver. 1 - 8.
Verses:
15:2The vine - tree - Israel is here compared to a vine, which, when fruitless, is utterly unprofitable. This the prophet minds them of to humble them, and awaken them to fruitfulness. A branch - One branch of a tree in the forest is of more use than the whole vine - tree is, except for its fruit.
15:3A pin - Will it afford even a pin to drive into a wall or post, on which you may safely fasten any weight.
15:4For fuel - When for its barrenness it is cut down, it is fit only to burn.
15:6Given - Doomed for food to the fire.
15:8Because - They have been so perpetually trespassing, that it seems a continued act.
