Context — Jerusalem the Useless Vine
1Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2“Son of man, how does the wood of the vine surpass any other branch among the trees in the forest?
3Can wood be taken from it to make something useful? Or can one make from it a peg on which to hang utensils?
4No, it is cast into the fire for fuel. The fire devours both ends, and the middle is charred. Can it be useful for anything? 5Even when it was whole, it could not be made useful. How much less can it ever be useful when the fire has consumed it and charred it!Cross References

Ezekiel 15:3 Summary
[Ezekiel 15:3 is asking if a vine can be used to make something useful, like a tool or a piece of furniture. The answer is no, because the wood of the vine is not strong or durable enough. This is an illustration of how God's people can become useless if they do not produce fruit, as Jesus teaches in John 15:1-8. Just like the vine, we can become soft and prone to 'burning' if we do not stay connected to God and follow His ways (Psalm 1:1-3).]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the vine in Ezekiel 15:3?
The vine in this context represents the people of Israel, as seen in other scriptures like Isaiah 5:1-7, where God's people are compared to a vineyard. In Ezekiel 15:3, the vine is being used to illustrate its lack of usefulness.
Why can't wood be taken from the vine to make something useful?
According to Ezekiel 15:3, the wood of the vine is not suitable for making useful items, unlike other types of wood. This is because the vine's wood is soft and prone to burning, as mentioned in the following verses.
Is there a spiritual application to the idea of the vine's wood being useless?
Yes, the uselessness of the vine's wood can be seen as a spiritual illustration of how God's people can become useless if they do not produce fruit, as Jesus teaches in John 15:1-8. If we do not abide in Christ and produce fruit, we can become like the vine in Ezekiel 15:3, only fit for burning.
How does this verse relate to the rest of the chapter?
Ezekiel 15:3 is part of a larger illustration about the worthlessness of the people of Israel, who have rebelled against God. The verse is setting the stage for the rest of the chapter, which explains how God will judge His people for their sin, as seen in Ezekiel 15:4-5.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways in which I can become 'useless' in my spiritual walk, and how can I avoid this?
- How can I 'abide in Christ' and produce fruit, as Jesus teaches in John 15:1-8?
- What are some things in my life that are 'consumed by fire' or 'charred' because of sin, and how can I surrender them to God?
- In what ways can I use my life to 'make something useful' for God's kingdom, and what steps can I take to start doing so?
Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 15:3
Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work?.... The carpenter and joiner, the house or ship builder, are employed in; as to build houses of, make beams, rafters, floors, c. build ships with, make masts of, c.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 15:3
Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest? What is the vine tree more than any tree? What has the vine-wood to make it preeminent above other forest-wood?
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 15:3
Is there one good piece of timber in the whole vine fit for building a house, or ship, as there is in the oak, elm, or other wild forest trees? Will it furnish the husbandman or soldier, or seaman with fit materials for their use, in peace, war, or sea? Will it afford a pin to drive into a wall or post, on which you may safely fasten any weight? It is so weak that it is useless as to this.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 15:3
Ezekiel 15:3 Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will [men] take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?Ver. 3. Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work?] No, hardly. It is good for nothing; no, not so much as to make a pin or a peg of to hang a hat or bridle on, because it is a sappy and brittle wood. Think the same of that empty vine, the profligate professor, being abominable, disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 15:3
XV. This short chapter contains a single simile and its application, designed to show that Israel, having failed to fulfil the purpose for which they had been chosen, were worthless, and could have no other end than destruction. (2) What is the vine tree?—The comparison of Israel to a vine or to a vineyard is common in Scripture (Psalms 80:8-13; Isaiah 5:1-7; Jeremiah 2:21; Hosea 10:1; Matthew 21:33-41, &c.) and is very apt; for the vine, bringing forth its appointed fruit, was among the most precious of the earth’s productions, but failing this, was utterly worthless for anything but fuel. The fact that Israel did not yield the fruit required is not especially mentioned, being taken for granted here, and abundantly expressed in the connected prophecies. The fruit of righteousness, as our Lord has shown in John 15:1-8, under the same figure of the vine, is only possible by a steadfast clinging to the Source of righteousness, and this was the point in which the Jews of this time had signally failed. (5) How much less shall it be meet?—The worthlessness of the wood of the vine having been shown in Ezekiel 15:3, and it having been said in Ezekiel 15:4 that it is therefore “cast into the fire,” the climax is here reached. According to Ezekiel 15:4, it is burned off at the ends, and then the remnants are pushed also into the fire to be burned, just as one would do with grape branches to save the trouble of cutting them up. This comparison is carried out in Ezekiel 15:7. (7) Shall go out from one fire and another fire . . .—The words one and another are not in the original and may be omitted, and the articles inserted: “they go from the fire, and the fire devours them.” This was exactly the condition of Israel. Partially consumed in the fire of the Divine judgments, they had been again and again overtaken.
The “ends” were already gone; now “the midst of it” was to be burned up—the final result, as always, being a recognition of God.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 15:3
3. Uselessness of the wood of the vine. to do any work] i.e. use for any work or purpose. The words may mean, to make it into any work or article of workmanship. It has too little firmness even to be made into a pin to hang any article upon.
Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 15:3
OF THE VINE TREE WITH OTHER TREES.It is significant that AEsop was a contemporary of Ezekiel, and that this sixth century B.C. marks the era of constant intercourse between the Hebrews and the surrounding peoples.
