Notes

Ezekiel 18:10–13

If the son of a righteous man (a man who lives in a right way before God) does not follow God’s ways or his father’s example, he is responsible for his own sin. If his life is completely different from what his father believed and practiced, he will bear his own guilt. He will face God’s judgment for his own actions.

Ezekiel 15:1–24:14

This section includes eight metaphors, each showing from a different angle the certainty of Jerusalem's upcoming judgment. The images are of:
