"Son of Man, How is the Wood of the Vine better than any other Wood"

God tells Ezekiel about the Vine analogy. The vine was originally very strong and useful. But after casting it into the fire and brought out again, it became useless. God then explained that the vine is like the people of Jerusalem. God will bring a fiery judgment on them, and after that, the people will be ineffective and the land become desolate. God will carry this out so that people will know that He is against them because of their unfaithfulness.

Ezekiel 15
The Outcast Vine
1 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 2 “Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than any other wood, the vine branch which is among the trees of the forest? 3 Is wood taken from it to make any object? Or can men make a peg from it to hang any vessel on? 4 Instead, it 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 I will set My face against them. They will go out from one fire, but another fire shall devour them. Then 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.”
