Notes
rod has budded: The evil and pride of the people of Israel had fully grown. Their sin had reached its peak. They were ready for judgment, like fruit that is ripe and ready to be picked (see Amos 8:1–2).
These chapters discuss words and actions that warned of disaster for Jerusalem (Ezekiel 4–5) and the land of Judah (Ezekiel 6–7).
