The Context of Ezekiel 15:3
The parable illustrates vine wood's complete lack of utility.
What Does Ezekiel 15:3 Mean?
Unlike strong timbers, vine wood is weak and brittle. It cannot be fashioned into structural pieces or even simple tools. The "pin" (peg) that might hold a vessel would snap under weight, making vine wood utterly impractical for human purposes.
The rhetorical questions expect a negative answer: no one uses vine wood for work. Its only value lies in bearing grapes; stripped of fruit, it becomes worthless scrap.
