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 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 Son of man, What is the vine-tree more than any tree, [or than] a branch which is among the trees of the forest?

3 Shall wood be taken of it to do any work? or will [men] take a pin of it to hang any vessel upon it?

4 Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it suitable for [any] work?

5 Behold, when it was whole, it was fit for no work: how much less then shall it be fit for [any] work, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned?
