Evil in High Places
Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the gate of the house of the LORD that faces east. And there at the entrance of the gate were twenty-five men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, who were leaders of the people. Ezk 11:13Ezk 11:24Ezk 3:12Ezk 3:14Ezk 8:16Ezk 8:31Ki 18:122Co 12:1-4 And the LORD said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who plot evil and give wicked counsel in this city. Isa 30:1Jer 5:5Psa 2:1-2Psa 52:2Isa 59:4Est 8:3Jer 18:18Mic 2:1-2 They are saying, ‘Is not the time near to build houses?

And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me and told me to declare that this is what the LORD says: “That is what you are thinking, O house of Israel; and I know the thoughts that arise in your minds. Jer 17:10Ezk 2:2Jer 16:17Rev 2:231Ch 28:91Sa 10:101Sa 10:6Ezk 2:4-5 You have multiplied those you killed in this city and filled its streets with the dead.

Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: The slain you have laid within this city are the meat, and the city is the pot; but I will remove you from it.

A Promise of Restoration
(Jeremiah 32:36–44)
Now as I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I fell facedown and cried out in a loud voice, “Oh, Lord GOD, will You bring the remnant of Israel to a complete end?” Ezk 11:1Ezk 9:8Act 5:51Ch 21:16-171Ki 13:4Act 13:11Act 5:10Amo 7:2
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Son of man, your brothers—your relatives, your fellow exiles, and the whole house of Israel—are those of whom the people of Jerusalem have said, ‘They are far away from the LORD; this land has been given to us as a possession.’ Ezk 33:24Isa 65:5Isa 66:5Jer 24:1-5Jhn 16:2
Therefore declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Although I sent them far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries, yet for a little while I have been a sanctuary for them in the countries to which they have gone.’ Isa 8:14Deu 30:3-4Psa 90:1Psa 91:1Jer 30:11Jer 31:10Lev 26:44Pro 18:10
Therefore declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you from the countries to which you have been scattered, and I will give back to you the land of Israel.’ Ezk 28:25Ezk 34:13Jer 3:18Ezk 36:24Isa 11:11-16Jer 24:5Amo 9:14-15Ezk 20:41
When they return to it, they will remove all its detestable things and all its abominations. Ezk 37:23Ezk 5:11Ezk 42:7-8Ezk 7:20Col 3:5-8Ezk 11:21Hos 14:8Isa 1:25-27 And I will give them singleness of heart and put a new spirit within them; I will remove their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh, Ezk 36:26-27Jer 31:33Psa 51:10Jer 32:39-40Jer 24:72Co 3:3Deu 30:6Ezk 18:31 so that they may follow My statutes, keep My ordinances, and practice them. Then they will be My people, and I will be their God. Ezk 14:11Psa 105:45Jer 30:22Tit 2:11-12Jer 31:33Luk 1:6Psa 119:4-51Co 11:2
But as for those whose hearts pursue detestable things and abominations, I will bring their conduct down upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.” Ecc 11:9Ezk 9:10Ezk 11:18Ezk 22:31Jas 1:14-15Jer 1:16Ezk 16:43Ezk 20:31
God’s Glory Leaves Jerusalem
Then the cherubim, with the wheels beside them, spread their wings, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them. Ezk 10:19Ezk 1:19-20 And the glory of the LORD rose up from within the city and stood over the mountain east of the city. Zec 14:4Ezk 8:4Ezk 10:4Ezk 43:2Ezk 10:18Ezk 43:4Ezk 9:3Mat 23:37
