에스겔 15:6 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 15:1-8

The prophet, we may suppose, was thinking what a glorious city Jerusalem was, above any city in the world; it was the crown and joy of the whole earth; and therefore what a pity it was that it should be destroyed; it was a noble structure, the city of God, and the city of Israel's solemnities. But, if these were the thoughts of his heart, God here returns an answer to them by comparing Jerusalem to a vine. 1. It is true, if a vine be fruitful, it is a most valuable tree, none more so; it was... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible 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... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 15:6

Therefore thus saith the Lord - As surely as I have allotted such a vine branch, or vine branches, for fuel; so surely have I appointed the inhabitants of Jerusalem to be consumed. The design of this parable is to abate the pride of the Jews; to show them that, in their best estate, they had nothing but what they had received, and therefore deserved nothing; and now, having fallen from all righteousness, they can have no expectation of any thing but judgment unmixed with mercy. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 15:6

Verse 6 Here the Prophet shows that the citizens of Jerusalem were cast into a fire, by which they suffered various kinds of death: for although they were not immediately and entirely consumed, yet the extremities were burnt off. For the whole region was laid waste all around, and the kingdom of Israel was entirely cut off: Jerusalem remained like the middle portion of the bundle. But the inhabitants of Jerusalem were so worn down by adversity, that they were like a stick burnt at both ends.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 15:1-8

The worthless vine. The vine represents Israel, and in its degenerate state it stands for the fallen, corrupt nation. Our Lord has taken up the image already familiar to us from Psalms 80:1-19 and Isaiah 5:1-30 , as well as from this passage in Ezekiel, so that his Church, now regarded as the spiritual Israel, may be typified in the old analogies of the vine ( John 15:1-27 ). I. WHEREIN THE WORTH OF THE VINE CONSISTS . "What is the vine tree more than any tree?" It... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 15:1-8

The worthless vineyard. The prophet was inspired to point the reproach of the Hebrew people, by reference to their ingratitude, their unfaithfulness, and their failure to fulfil the special purpose for which they were exalted to a position of peculiar privilege. In this passage, as in a similar passage in the fifth chapter of Isaiah's prophecies, the similitude of the vine is employed to set forth, on the one hand, Divine care, culture, and forbearance; and, on the other hand, national... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 15:1-8

Useless, if fruitless. The nation of the Hebrews is often represented under the image of a vine. This, with the olive, was its staple production. It may be that ever since the visit of the spies, who brought back the gigantic cluster of grapes from Eshcol, the vine had served as a standing emblem of the empire. In the Psalms of David, and in the poetical utterances of Isaiah, frequent mention is made of Israel under the symbol of a vine. And amid the ruins of ancient buildings in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 15:1-8

The true object of the life of man. "And the word of the Lord came irate me, saying, Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree?" etc. Israel is here compared to a vine. The figure is frequently applied to her (cf Psalms 80:8-16 ; Isaiah 5:1-7 ). If a vine be fruitful, it is very highly valued. Its fruit is said to make "glad the heart of man," and to "cheer God and man." But if it be not fruitful, of what use is it? It is of no use as timber. If other trees fail to bring... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 15:6-8

Ezekiel 15:6-8. As the vine-tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given for fuel That is, as the vine-tree, when barren and fruitless, like the wild trees of the forest, is given for fuel, being fit for nothing else; or as a vine, when barren and cut up, is thrown among other wood which is intended to be fuel for the fire; so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem So will I destroy them by the Chaldeans, among other nations which are destroyed by them. For they are so... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 15:1-8

The useless vine (15:1-8)Judah was one nation among many, like a vine among the trees of the forest. The question is asked: Is the timber of the vine better than the timber of other trees? The answer: No; as timber it is useless, not even fit to make a peg from which to hang a cooking pot. It is still more useless if it has been half burnt in a fire (15:1-5).The nation Judah was useless and was already half destroyed through Babylon’s attacks. Like the half-burnt vine thrown back on the fire,... read more
