  1. Holy you weren\u2019t<\/em>. Abominations in Jerusalem: social transgressions, desecration of Sabbaths and holy things, impurities, forbidden relations. All the things that the Holiness Code (Lev. 19-20) warned against (see verses 6-12).<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. You won\u2019t last<\/em>. That\u2019s what it sounds like: \u201cWill your courage endure, will your hands remain firm in the days when I deal with you?\u201d (verse 14).<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Moving in opposite directions<\/em>. The first prophecy imagines emptying out Jerusalem of all the sinners, and sending them off to exile in order to purify the city. The second prophecy imagines the opposite: concentrating all the sinners in order to meld them together, root out the evil, and thus purify the society.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. The fault of the leadership<\/em>. In the same breath, Ezekiel blames both the destruction on the sinners, and on those who kept quiet and didn\u2019t prevent the evil. From the wording in verse 30, if someone were to pray \u201cstand in the breach before Me in behalf of this land,\u201d it would have helped.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","image":{"ID":86314,"id":86314,"title":"Points to
