Ezekiel, 15

1. The word of Yahweh was addressed to me as follows:

1. Das Wort des Herrn erging an mich:

2. Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than wood from the branch of a forest tree?

2. Menschensohn, was hat das Holz des Weinstocks / vor dem Holz aller anderen Sträucher voraus, / die zwischen den Bäumen des Waldes wachsen?

3. Is its wood used for making anything? Are pegs on which to hang things made from it?

3. Nimmt man es etwa, um daraus etwas zu machen? / Oder gebraucht man es als Pflock / und hängt allerlei Geräte daran auf?

4. There it is, thrown on the fire for fuel. The fire burns off both ends; the middle is charred; can it be kept for anything now?

4. Nein, man wirft es dem Feuer zum Fraß vor. / Sind dann die beiden Enden des Holzes vom Feuer verzehrt und hat die Glut seine Mitte erfasst, / ist es dann noch geeignet, / um etwas daraus zu machen?

5. While it was intact, you could make nothing with it; burned and charred, is it any more useful now?

5. Schon als es noch ganz war, / konnte man nichts daraus machen. Hat das Feuer es aber gefressen und ist es verglüht, / kann man erst recht nichts daraus machen.

6. So, the Lord Yahweh says this: As the wood of the vine among the forest trees, which I have thrown on the fire for fuel, so shall I treat the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

6. Darum - so spricht Gott, der Herr: / Wie ich das Holz des Weinstocks, / das zwischen den Bäumen des Waldes heranwuchs, dem Feuer zum Fraß übergab, / so behandle ich auch die, die in Jerusalem wohnen.

7. I shall set my face against them. They have escaped one fire, but fire will devour them yet. And you will know that I am Yahweh, when I set my face against them.

7. Wenn ich meinen Blick auf sie richte, / dann wird sie, auch wenn sie dem Feuer entkommen, das Feuer verzehren. Ihr werdet erkennen, dass ich der Herr bin, / wenn ich meinen Blick auf sie richte.

8. I shall reduce the country to a desert, because of their infidelity- declares the Lord Yahweh.

8. Ich mache das Land zur Wüste; / denn sie haben die Treue gebrochen - / Spruch Gottes, des Herrn.

15:1-5 - The Lord compares Jerusalem to a useless vine, which cannot even be used for making wood. Jerusalem's uselessness is related to her rebellion and lack of faithfulness to God (see also Isaiah 5:1-7 and John 15:5).

15:6-8 - God's judgment is announced upon Jerusalem, and the city will be destroyed. The city's lack of repentance and moral corruption lead to its judgment. God's justice is clear: those who reject His word will face His consequences (see also Lamentations 4:20-22 and Matthew 23:37-39).

Ezekiel chapter 15 compares Jerusalem to a useless vine. What lesson does God teach through this metaphor? This concise text questions the value of a vine that does not produce fruit. The chapter illustrates how Jerusalem, like the wood of the vine, is fit only for the fire of divine judgment. This analogy emphasizes God's expectation for spiritual fruitfulness and the consequences of unfaithfulness. Consider with us five biblical passages that elucidate the principles of spiritual productivity presented in this metaphorical chapter.

John 15:6: "If anyone does not abide in me, he will be like a branch that is thrown away and withers. Such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned." - Jesus uses a metaphor similar to that in Ezekiel 15:1-8, comparing unfaithful people to useless branches.

Romans 11:17-21: "If some branches have been cut off, and you, being a wild olive tree, have been grafted in among the others and now partake of the sap that comes from the root of the olive tree, do not boast against those branches. If you do, know that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you. [...] For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either." - Paul uses a tree metaphor similar to that in Ezekiel 15, warning against unfaithfulness.

Matthew 3:10: "The ax has already been placed at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire." - John the Baptist uses a similar metaphor to that in Ezekiel 15, warning of impending judgment.

Psalms 80:8-16: "You brought a vine from Egypt; You drove out the nations and planted it. [...] Why did you tear down your fence, allowing everyone who passes by to pick up your grapes?" - This psalm uses the metaphor of the vine for Israel, similar to that of Ezekiel 15, contrasting God's care with the people's unfaithfulness.

Isaiah 5:1-7: "I will sing to my beloved a song of my beloved, about his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a fertile hillside. [...] Well, the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the nation of Israel, and the men of Judah are the plantation that he loved. He expected justice, but there was bloodshed; He expected righteousness, but he heard cries of distress." - Isaiah uses a parable of the vineyard similar to the metaphor in Ezekiel 15 describing Israel's unfaithfulness.
