Ezekiel 11:4-6

Ezekiel was to prophesy against these leaders. The Spirit came upon him and instructed him to tell them that the Lord knew what they were thinking (cf. Ezekiel 2:2; Ezekiel 3:24; Ezekiel 13:1-3; 2 Peter 1:21). God always knows what His people are thinking (cf. Psalms 139:1-6; Daniel 2:30; Acts 1:24). In this case their thinking was in rebellion against what He, through Jeremiah, had told them to do. Furthermore, they had slain many innocent people in Jerusalem by perverting justice and taking advantage of the weak.
