Chapter 15 – Ezekiel

The Outcast Vine

A message from the Lord came to Ezekiel, comparing the people of Israel to the wood of a vine, useless except to be burned, and even then it burns too quickly.

“And this is what the Sovereign Lord says: The people of Jerusalem are like grapevines growing among the trees of the forest. Since they are useless, I have thrown them on the fire to be burned. And I will see to it that if they escape from one fire, they will fall into another. When I turn against them, you will know that I am the Lord. And I will make the land desolate because my people have been unfaithful to me. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!”

Ezekiel 15: 6-8

This message further emphasises God’s plan to destroy Jerusalem.

The people had become useless to God because of their persistent unfaithfulness and idolatry. Are you fruitful and useful to God?
