Context of Ezekiel 15:7

5It was useless before you put it on the fire. It is even more useless after the fire has burnt it. You cannot make anything with it. 6So this is what the Almighty Lord says: Among the trees of the forest, I have provided the wood of vines to burn on a fire. In the same way, I will take the people of Jerusalem to punish them. I will become their enemy. They may have escaped from the fire once, but soon the fire will destroy them. When I punish them like that, then you will know that I am the Lord. 8They have not served me faithfully. So I will destroy their land. That is what the Almighty Lord says.’

Commentaries on Ezekiel 15:7

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7They shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall devour them - If they escape the sword, they shall perish by the famine; if they escape the famine, they shall be led away captives.

The people of Israel - as a whole and as separate kingdoms - had become worthless. The branch torn from the living stem had truly been cast into the fire, which had devoured both ends of it; what remained was a brand plucked from the burning. Those who had escaped the general calamity were reserved for a like…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 7Anyone who escaped one “fire” of God’s judgment would not truly be safe. Here, “fire” is a picture of severe judgment. This first fire likely refers to the defeat of Judah by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon in 597 BC (2 Kings 21:1–4). Some people survived that attack and were taken into exile. But those who escaped that disaster would soon face another one. This second fire refers to the final destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BC. In other words, escaping…Read the comment
