Ezekiel 33 - Introduction

According to the duty of a watchman, in warning the people, Ezekiel is admonished of his duty. God sheweth the justice of his ways towards the penitent, and towards revolters; he maintaineth his justice. Upon the news of the taking of Jerusalem, Ezekiel prophesieth the desolation of the land. God's judgment upon the mockers of the prophets.
