以西結書 15:3 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 15:3

Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work?
&c.] The carpenter and joiner, the house or ship builder, are employed in; as to build houses of, make beams, rafters, floors build ships with, make masts of or any vessel or utensil for the use of man? it never is; it is not fit for any such purpose. Pliny F4 speaks of some rarities made of the wood of vines, but not things of common use; and these not of any vines, but of some peculiar ones, favoured by the air and soil or will [men] take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
it is not fit to make a peg of to hang a hat on; and much less for anything that requires more strength.

1 耶 和 華 的 話 臨 到 我 說 :
2 人 子 啊 , 葡 萄 樹 比 別 樣 樹 有 甚 麼 強 處 ? 葡 萄 枝 比 眾 樹 枝 有 甚 麼 好 處 ?
3 其 上 可 以 取 木 料 做 甚 麼 工 用 , 可 以 取 來 做 釘 子 掛 甚 麼 器 皿 麼 ?
4 看 哪 , 已 經 拋 在 火 中 當 作 柴 燒 , 火 既 燒 了 兩 頭 , 中 間 也 被 燒 了 , 還 有 益 於 工 用 麼 ?
5 完 全 的 時 候 尚 且 不 合 乎 甚 麼 工 用 , 何 況 被 火 燒 壞 , 還 能 合 乎 甚 麼 工 用 麼 ?
