Ezekiel 15:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 15:6

4 Instead, ^ait is thrown into the fire for fuel; the fire devours both ends of it, and its middle is burned. Is it useful for any work?

5 Indeed, when it was whole, no object could be made from it. How much less will it be useful for any work when the fire has devoured it, and it is burned?

6 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give up the inhabitants of Jerusalem;

7 and ^aI will set My face against them. ^bThey will go out from one fire, but another fire shall devour them. ^cThen you shall know that I am the Lord, when I set My face against them.

8 Thus I will make the land desolate, because they have persisted in unfaithfulness,’ says the Lord God.”
