Notes

Ezekiel 14:22–23

Some survivors would emerge from the devastating judgment (Ezekiel 14:21) and join those already in exile. They would not survive because of their own righteousness or that of their relatives, but as an object lesson for those in exile. As the exiles saw the depravity of this remnant, they would feel better about what God had done to Jerusalem. The exiles would understand that God had acted with justice in his judgment upon Jerusalem, not without cause.
