Ezekiel 11

This chapter denounces the judgments of God against those wicked persons who remained in Jerusalem and made a mock of the types and predictions of the prophets, Ezekiel 11:1-13 ; compare Ezekiel 11:3 ; with Jeremiah 1:13 . God promises to favour those who were gone into captivity, and intimates their restoration from the Babylonish yoke, Ezekiel 11:14-21 . Then the shechinah, or symbol of the Divine Presence, is represented forsaking the city, as in the foregoing chapter it did the temple, Ezekiel 11:22 , Ezekiel 11:23 ; and the prophet returns in vision to the place from which he set out, ( Ezekiel 8:1 . etc.), in order to communicate his instructions to his brethren of the captivity, Ezekiel 11:24 , Ezekiel 11:25 .
