Ezekiel 15:1

1 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens

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 et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens

2 fili hominis quid fiet ligno vitis ex omnibus lignis nemorum quae sunt inter ligna silvarum

3 numquid tolletur de ea lignum ut fiat opus aut fabricabitur de ea paxillus ut dependeat in eo quodcumque vas

4 ecce igni datum est in escam utramque partem eius consumpsit ignis et medietas eius redacta est in favillam numquid utile erit ad opus

5 etiam cum esset integrum non erat aptum ad opus quanto magis cum ignis illud devoraverit et conbuserit nihil ex eo fiet operis
