Albert Barnes Commentary
"Son of man, what is the vine-tree more than any tree, the vine-branch which is among the trees of the forest?" — Ezekiel 15:2 (ASV)
The vine ... - The image is grounded on a well-known figure (Psalms 80:8); (Isaiah 5:0). The comparison is not between the vine and other trees, but between the wood of the vine and the wood of other trees.
