Eze 15:1-8.
THE WORTHLESSNESS OF THE VINE AS WOOD ESPECIALLY WHEN BURNT, IS THE IMAGE OF THE WORTHLESSNESS AND GUILT OF THE JEWS, WHO SHALL PASS FROM ONE FIRE TO ANOTHER.
This chapter represents, in the way of a brief introduction, what the sixteenth chapter details minutely.

2-3. 포도나무 목재는 열매를 맺을 때만 가치가 있고, 목재로는 못 하나 만들기 어렵다. 하나님의 백성도 의의 열매를 잃으면 세상 사람보다 더 무익하다.

2, 3. What has the vine-wood to make it pre-eminent above other forest-wood? Nothing. Nay, the reverse. Other trees yield useful timber, but vine-wood is soft, brittle, crooked, and seldom large; not so much as a "pin" (the large wooden peg used inside houses in the East to hang household articles on,
Isa 22:23-25)
can be made of it. Its sole excellency is that it should bear fruit; when it does not bear fruit, it is not only not better, but inferior to other trees: so if God's people lose their distinctive excellency by not bearing fruits of righteousness, they are more unprofitable than the worldly
(De 32:32),
for they are the vine; the sole end of their being is to bear fruit to His glory
(Ps 80:8, 9; Isa 5:1, &c.; Jer 2:21; Ho 10:1; Mt 21:33).
In all respects, except in their being planted by God, the Jews were inferior to other nations, as Egypt, Babylon, &c., for example, in antiquity, extent of territory, resources, military power, attainments in arts and sciences.
or than a branch--rather, in apposition with "the vine tree." Omit "or than." What superiority has the vine if it be but a branch among the trees of the forest, that is, if, as having no fruit, it lies cut down among other woods of trees?

- 포도나무가 불에 던져지는 것처럼, 이스라엘의 양끝은 이미 심판을 받았고 예루살렘도 느부갓네살의 공격으로 불붙었다. 그슬린 나머지도 쓸모가 없다.

- 유다인은 단순한 죄인이 아니라 하나님과 율법을 알면서도 배반한 배교자였다. 그러므로 그 죄는 더욱 무겁다.
영문 원문
8. trespass--rather, "they have perversely fallen into perverse rebellion." The Jews were not merely sinners as the other nations, but revolters and apostates. It is one thing to neglect what we know not, but quite another thing to despise what we profess to worship [JEROME], as the Jews did towards God and the law.
에스겔 15:1-8은 불에 탄 포도나무 목재의 무가치함을 통해 유다인의 무익함과 죄를 보여 준다. 이 짧은 장은 16장의 자세한 설명에 대한 서론이다.
