3 Is wood taken from it to make any object? Or can men make a peg from it to hang any vessel on?

WHAT VINE IS THE LORD SPEAKING OF? ISRAEL? JUDAH?

READ: PSALMS 80:8-118 You have brought a vine out of Egypt; You have cast out the nations, and planted it. 9 You prepared room for it, And caused it to take deep root, And it filled the land. 10 The hills were covered with its shadow, And the mighty cedars with its boughs. 11 She sent out her boughs to the Sea, And her branches to the River.




READ: ISAIAH 5:1-31 Now let me sing to my Well-beloved A song of my Beloved regarding His vineyard: My Well-beloved has a vineyard On a very fruitful hill. 2 He dug it up and cleared out its stones, And planted it with the choicest vine. He built a tower in its midst, And also made a winepress in it; So He expected it to bring forth good grapes, But it brought forth wild grapes. 3 "And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, Judge, please, between Me and My vineyard.



HOW WAS VINE CORRUPTED?

READ: DEUTERONOMY 32:32-3332 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom And of the fields of Gomorrah; Their grapes are grapes of gall,Their clusters are bitter. 33 Their wine is the poison of serpents, And the cruel venom of cobras. NKJV

HOW WAS VINE CORRUPTED?

21 Yet I had planted you a noble vine, a seed of highest quality. How then have you turned before Me

Into the degenerate plant of an alien vine? NKJV


WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LORD’S VINE?

READ: PSALMS 80:12-1612 Why have You broken down her hedges, So that all who pass by the way pluck her fruit? 13 The boar out of the woods uproots it, And the wild beast of the field devours it. 14 Return, we beseech You, O God of hosts; Look down from heaven and see, And visit this vine 15 And the vineyard which Your right hand has planted, And the branch that You made strong for Yourself. 16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down; They perish at the rebuke of Your countenance. NKJV

QUESTIONS: EZEKIEL 15:2WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LORD’S VINE?

READ: ISAIAH 5:4-74 What more could have been done to My vineyard That I have not done in it? Why then, when I expected it to bring forth good grapes, Did it bring forth wild grapes? 5 And now, please let Me tell you what I will do to My vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned; And break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.6 I will lay it waste; It shall not be pruned or dug,But there shall come up briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds That they rain no rain on it." 7 For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, And the men of Judah are His pleasant plant.He looked for justice, but behold, oppression; For righteousness, but behold, a cry for help. NKJV

Come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.' 39 So they took him and cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. 40 "Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vinedressers?" 41 They said to Him, "He will destroy those wicked men miserably, and lease his vineyard to other vinedressers who will render to him the fruits in their seasons."

NKJV

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?
