Ezek. 15:1–8 Comparing Israel to a vine is a common OT theme (e.g., Ps. 80:8–16; Jer. 2:21). (On Israel as a vineyard, see Isa. 5:1–7; Jer. 12:10; as an olive tree, see Jer. 11:16; Rom. 11:17–24.) The mixing of vine imagery and spiritual unfaithfulness in Jer. 2:20–21 is also found in Ezekiel 15–16. Ezekiel further develops the vine metaphor in ch. 17 (compare 19:10–14). Here in 15:1–8, the point is simple: the wood of a vine is fit only for burning—and so it is with the inhabitants of Jerusalem (v. 6). Such a pessimistic evaluation matches God’s evaluation of the whole of Israelite history in ch. 20.
