Ezekiel 15:3

German (Die Heilige Schrift (Schlachter 1951))

Nimmt man auch Holz davon, um es zu einer Arbeit zu verwenden? Nimmt man auch davon einen Pflock, um irgend ein Gerät daran zu hängen?

Was bedeutet das?

In this verse, God through Ezekiel asks if the wood from a vine can be used for any useful work or even as a pin to hang something on. The key message is that the wood from the vine is useless for practical purposes.

Für Kinder erklärt

Imagine you have a toy made from a stick. Would you use that stick to build a house or to hang your favorite hat? Probably not! This verse is saying that the wood from a vine is just like that stick—it's not good for much.

Just as the wood from the vine is useless, we can reflect on how our lives might be seen as useless if we don't use our talents for something meaningful. For instance, instead of spending time on unproductive activities, we can use our skills to help others or serve our community.
