Ezekiel 25-27, Proverbs 22:17-29
Israel and Judah have incited the Lord’s wrath by their wanton disregard for His statutes, and the Lord intends to pour His wrath out on His people. Even so, He will continue to stand by His promise to save a remnant and bring them back into the land. This is not the case for the surrounding nations, who have shown contempt for Jerusalem and disregard for the Holy One of Israel. With today’s episode, we begin a new section in Ezekiel which focuses on prophecies against other nations. A majority of today’s passage focuses on the esteemed port city of Tyre, located on an island just off the coast. Though Nebuchadnezzar was unsuccessful in his siege, Alexander the Great was eventually successful after creating a causeway of timber and stone, wiping them out, never to exist again.Ezekiel 25 - 1:06 .

Ezekiel 23-24, Proverbs 22:1-16
The Word of God sometimes shocks us with the imagery it gives to describe the sins of mankind, and today’s passage is no exception. As you might imagine, today’s podcast includes sexually explicit content, so parents, use discretion as you see fit. The Lord tells a parable of sorts, describing Samaria (aka Israel) and Jerusalem as two sisters named Oholah and Oholibah. With scandalous and sordid depictions of their rebellion against God, they stand condemned before the one who called them to faithfulness and purity. A second parable describes a boiling pot where meat is cooked. Though choice meat has gone into the pot, the pot itself is corroded, which means the food is not edible. It must be emptied and set on the coals until it is purified.Ezekiel 23 - 1:06 . Ezekiel 24 - 12:27 . Proverbs 22:1-16 - 18:17 . :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Ezekiel 20:32-22:31, Proverbs 21:17-31
In our last reading, some of the elders of Israel had gathered around Ezekiel to inquire of the Lord, but God denied them counsel and began to recount the history of Israel’s rebellion and idolatry. Time and again, the Lord would have been justified in exhausting His wrath against Israel, but over and over He relented from disaster so that His name wouldn’t be profaned among the nations. The Lord will not answer them, but one day, God’s people will humble themselves and return to him. Later, Ezekiel prophesies of the impending judgment that is coming against Jerusalem. The sword of Babylon will come, bringing devastation and destruction. All of this will serve as righteous judgment against God’s people for their rampant sinfulness.Ezekiel 20:32-49 - 1:10 . Ezekiel 21 - 4:54 . Ezekiel 22 - 13:28 .

Ezekiel 18:1-20:31, Proverbs 21:1-16
Our reading opens with a consideration of personal responsibility for sin. The Lord says that each man is responsible for his own sins; no man will be charged as guilty for the sins of his father, but will certainly be judged for his own actions. Moreover, a sinful man can be restored when he turns in repentance toward God, but the one who turns away from righteousness to live in unrighteousness will be condemned. Later we’ll read a lament for the princes of Israel, who are compared to lions that grow up to devour people, and are therefore captured and taken away. Finally, some of the elders of Israel gather around Ezekiel to inquire of the Lord, but God denies them and recounts the history of Israel’s rebellion and idolatry. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Ezekiel 16-17
Today’s episode contains sexual themes, so parental discretion is advised. Today we get a glimpse of God’s lovingkindness toward Israel as God describes Himself as a Father who adopts an unwanted baby, then as a man who redeems the life of a woman by claiming her as His bride. This woman becomes beautiful through the nurturing love of God, and as she grows in beauty, she begins to trust her beauty more than her husband. This bride is more anxious to please other men than to please her own husband, and therefore His anger is kindled against her. Later, the Lord gives Ezekiel a riddle that finds its answer in future fulfillment, making it more like a parable for us today, wherein Nebuchadnezzar is represented by the first eagle, Jehoiachin is the top of the cedar, the king of Egypt is the second eagle, and King Zedekiah is the vine.Ezekiel 16 - 1:02 .

Ezekiel 13-15
We begin today’s passage with prophecies against false teachers who make up things to say from the Lord even though he didn’t actually say them. These prophets are figuratively like those who don’t repair the structure of a weakened wall so that it is strong once again, but who simply whitewash over it to make it look nice. Women who practice sorcery and sell bracelets as magic charms are condemned here as well. Later, the Lord God says that no one from Israel will be saved simply because there are some who live it in who are holy; in fact, even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were residents, not even their family would be saved by their association with the righteous.Ezekiel 13 - 1:03 . Ezekiel 14 - 7:36 .

Ezekiel 9-12, Proverbs 20:16-30
In our last episode, while meeting with Judah’s elders, Ezekiel was carried off in a vision by the Lord. In one scene after another, the Lord showed Ezekiel the abhorrent practices of idolatry that the people were committing, especially those in the Lord’s temple. Today, the prophet sees an otherworldly visual representation of the Lord’s sovereign decrees as judgment is declared upon Jerusalem and upon the temple where God once lived among His people. He is then carried off to see a conversation between the elders of Jerusalem who boast in their self-worth and who plot to take Israel’s land soon after they have been exiled.Ezekiel 9 - 1:06 . Ezekiel 10 - 3:55 . Ezekiel 11 - 8:55 . Ezekiel 12 - 13:59 .

Ezekiel 5-8
When we last left Ezekiel, the Lord had given him prophetic acts to perform before the people of Jerusalem. In one he drew the city of Jerusalem on a brick and then laid siege to it. In another, he was commanded to lay on his left side for 390 days, and then 40 days on his right, all while eating bread baked over cow dung. Today, at the Lord’s direction, Ezekiel shaves his head and beard, a look that was considered shameful, and then proceeds to destroy most of the hair that had been removed. Later, Ezekiel is carried away in a vision and given a tour of Jerusalem’s detestable acts of idolatry.Ezekiel 5 - 1:02 . Ezekiel 6 - 5:40 . Ezekiel 7 - 9:55 .
