Contextual Overview
1 Seven years after King Jehoiachin and the rest of us had been led away as prisoners to Babylonia, some of Israel's leaders came to me on the tenth day of the fifth month. They sat down and asked for a message from the Lord . 2 Just then, the Lord God said: 3 Ezekiel, son of man, these leaders have come to find out what I want them to do. As surely as I live, I will not give them an answer of any kind. 4 Are you willing to warn them, Ezekiel? Then remind them of the disgusting sins of their ancestors.
