Reading for February 27th
Read 15.1-8 The allegory of the useless vine.
Ezekiel uses rhetorical questions to compare the inhabitants of Jerusalem to the wood of a vine, which is entirely useless except for burning (see Judg 9.7-21).
In verse 2 the wood of the vine does not surpass any other wood.
In verse 3 it cannot be used to make anything, since vine branches are twisted and weak.
In verses 4-5 even when burned, the charred ends are useless.
In verses 6-8 like useless vine branches, Jerusalem will be burned.
