Ezekiel 15: Jerusalem will be burned

 Ezekiel 15 prophecies that Jerusalem will be burned. Jews in Jerusalem couldn't believe on it because the temple of the Lord is there. This prophecy says that Jerusalem will be burned because she was unfaithful. We read:

1-3 God’s Message came to me: “Son of man, how would you compare the wood of a vine with the branches of any tree you’d find in the forest? Is vine wood ever used to make anything? Is it used to make pegs to hang things from?

It is saying: "do you think that Judah (vine) is better than other nations (any tree)"?
The answer is:

6-8 “So here’s the Message of God, the Master: Like the wood of the vine I selected from among the trees of the forest and used as fuel for the fire, just so I’ll treat those who live in Jerusalem. I am dead set against them. Even though at one time they got out of the fire charred, the fire’s going to burn them up. When I take my stand against them, you’ll realize that I am God. I’ll turn this country into a wilderness because they’ve been faithless.” Decree of God, the Master.

It is a good motive to abandon Jerusalem and be exiled in Babylon.
