Ezekiel 15 documents the metaphor of the vine branch as a comparison to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. It argues that unlike other wood which can be used for building, a vine branch is only good for producing fruit; if it fails at that, it is weaker and more useless than any other wood and is fit only for the fire.
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.
And I will set my face against them; they shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I set my face against them.
And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.
