Ezekiel Dramatizes Israel's Anxiety

¹⁹ And unto the people of the land, speak thou on this manner: 'Thus sayeth the LORD God to them that dwell in Jerusalem, and to the land of Israel: Ye shall eat your bread with sorrow, and drink your water with heaviness. Yea, the land with the fullness thereof shall be laid waste, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. ²⁰ And the cities that now be well occupied, shall be void, and the land desolate: that ye may know how that I am the LORD.'" ²¹ Yet came the word of the LORD unto me again, saying,

I Am the Lord

Know that I Am the Lord
