에스겔 15:7-8 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 15:7

And I will set my face against them ,.... In wrath to destroy them; see Ezekiel 14:8 ; and they shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall devour them : from one calamity to another; those that escaped the famine and pestilence in the city fell by the sword; and those that escaped famine, sword, and pestilence, were carried into captivity, and there passed from one hardship and affliction to another. The Targum is, "I will execute my vengeance on them, because of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 15:8

And I will make the land desolate ,.... The land of Judea uncultivated, men and beast being cut off; see Ezekiel 14:15 ; because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord God ; acted a treacherous and perfidious part; apostatized from God, having committed idolatry, which was the cause of their ruin; and therefore it was not without a cause that the Lord did what he did, in it; see Ezekiel 14:23 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 15:7

They shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall devour them - If they escape the sword, they shall perish by the famine; if they escape the famine, they shall be led away captives. To escape will be impossible. It will be to them according to the proverb: - Incidit in Scyllam, cupiens vitare Charybdim . "Out of the scald, into the flame." read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 15:8

They have committed a trespass - They have prevaricated; they are the worst of sinners, and shall have the heaviest of punishments. Can men suppose that it is possible to hide even their dark hearts from God? read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 15:7

Verse 7 He confirms what had been said in the last verse, and at the same time explains it: as if the citizens of Jerusalem retained some form, because they were not reduced to dust; but the fire had burnt all round them, as if the flame was licking a bundle of twigs. While the royal seat remained to them, the name of a people remained, and hence an opportunity for their obstinacy. For they were not to be subdued, since they were not entirely consumed: and now another madness is added; for as... 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
