Ezekiel 15:6

6 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus quomodo lignum vitis inter ligna silvarum quod dedi igni ad devorandum sic tradidi habitatores Hierusalem

Ezekiel 15:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 15:6

Therefore thus saith the Lord God
Now follows the application of the simile: as the vine tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to
the fire for fuel;
to be burnt, as other trees of the forest are, and along with them: so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
to be destroyed along with other nations by the Chaldeans; they being no better, but as bad, if not worse, like wild vines among forest trees; and therefore must fare no better: this was the decree and determination of the Lord.

Ezekiel 15:6 In-Context

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

6 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus quomodo lignum vitis inter ligna silvarum quod dedi igni ad devorandum sic tradidi habitatores Hierusalem

7 et ponam faciem meam in eos de igne egredientur et ignis consumet eos et scietis quia ego Dominus cum posuero faciem meam in eos

8 et dedero terram inviam et desolatam eo quod praevaricatores extiterint dicit Dominus Deus
