Context of Ezekiel 15:7

5Vines are useless both before and after being put into the fire! 6“And this is what the Sovereign Lord says: The people of Jerusalem are like grapevines growing among the trees of the forest. Since they are useless, I have thrown them on the fire to be burned. And I will see to it that if they escape from one fire, they will fall into another. When I turn against them, you will know that I am the Lord. 8And I will make the land desolate because my people have been unfaithful to me. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!”

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.

Those who had escaped the general calamity were reserved for a like…Read the comment
