以西結書 15:6-7 RCUVTS

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 15:1-8

Ezekiel’s Parable of the VineJerusalem and Israel are compared elsewhere in Scripture to a cultivated vine, bearing or expected to bear fruit. Ezekiel’s similitude, however, is that of the wild vine (Ezekiel 15:2, RV), regarded simply as a tree. It is the most worthless of trees. Its wood is of no use for any purpose, being too weak even to make a peg of. A vine branch that happens to be half-burnt is even more worthless than it was before. Jerusalem is such a half-burnt vine, already charred... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 15:1-8

XV.This short chapter contains a single simile and its application, designed to show that Israel, having failed to fulfil the purpose for which they had been chosen, were worthless, and could have no other end than destruction. (2) What is the vine tree?—The comparison of Israel to a vine or to a vineyard is common in Scripture (Psalms 80:8-13; Isaiah 5:1-7; Jeremiah 2:21; Hosea 10:1; Matthew 21:33-41, &c.) and is very apt; for the vine, bringing forth its appointed fruit, was among the... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Ezekiel 15:1-8

Ezekiel 15:1-8 . This is the first of three parables to demonstrate still further the delusion of their false hope that deliverance would come. The vine is a type of Israel Psalms 80:8-19 ; Isaiah 5:1-30 , and Hosea 10:1 . The vine is only good for one thing, which is the bearing of fruit; apart from this it is worthless. The wood cannot be used for anything whatever. It is good for nothing but burning. Nebuchadnezzar carried out this sentence 2 Kings 25:9 . It reminds us also of the parable of... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Ezekiel 15:7

15:7 And I will set my face against them; they shall go out from [one] {b} fire, and [another] fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I set my face against them.(b) Though they escape one danger, yet another will take them. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 15:1-8

DISTRIBUTING THE RESPONSIBILITY While these visions and prophecies may be new as to the particular occasions for them, yet they are in substance the same as the preceding. “THE PRINCE IN JERUSALEM” (Ezekiel 12:1-16 ) In chapter 10 we had a vision of the judgment upon the city of Jerusalem, in chapter 11, upon the princes, and in this upon the king himself (v. 10). The explanation of the action commanded the prophet in Ezekiel 12:1-7 is given in Ezekiel 12:8-16 . It is thought that this was... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Ezekiel 15:1-8

Fruitless and Useless Ezekiel 15:0 The single idea of this brief chapter is that if the vine should fail in grapes it fails altogether. There is a whole philosophy of life in that single and simple fact. The argument of the Lord is founded upon that one circumstance. The vine is good for nothing for timber. With the vine, it is grapes, or nothing. Some trees might be made use of even if they did not grow the fruit whose name they bear: they might be cut down and used for fencing, for... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 15:6-8

Here, as in other parts of the word of God, we find judgment following conviction. The Lord seems to expostulate, as it were, in the same language as by another Prophet: And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard. What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? Isaiah 5:3-4 . Reader! it is a very solemn thing when men trifle with the Lord. Sin is sin, wherever it be found. But sill in the Church of God becomes... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 15:1-8

The Vine-Tree Fit for Burning Only. As little as the Lord, for the sake of a handful of righteous people, will spare Jerusalem, so little can a preference of Israel before other nations be alleged, as placing the Jews in a position of safety. As the preceding prophecy is directed against any false confidence on the part of the righteous, so the present message takes away the illusion held by some as though the people of Israel on account of their position as the children of God were safe from... read more

Johann Peter Lange

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ezekiel 15:1-8

4. The Parable of the Vine Tree for the Burning (Ezekiel 15:0.)1And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 2Son of man, what shall the wood of the vine be more than any wood? the vine-branch which was 3among the trees of the forest! Is wood taken thereof to do any work? Or do they take a peg of it to hang any vessel thereon? 4Behold, it is [was] given to the fire for fuel [food]; its two ends the fire consumed, and its middle 5is scorched; is it fit for any work? Behold, in its uninjured... read more
