Verse 2
- Son of man, what is the vine tree more than any tree,
- or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?[4]
Verse 6
- Therefore thus saith the Lord God;
- As the vine tree among the trees of the forest,
- which I have given to the fire for fuel,
- so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.[6]
- "Fuel" (Hebrew: אָכְלָה ’āḵ-lāh; 'ok-lah): the Hebrew word actually means "food" as in "food of wild beast", but also used as "food of fire", that is "to be consumed by fire."[7][8] The wood of vine is worthy only when it produces grapes, otherwise it is useless, so it is thrown to the fire (John 15:6).[9]
