Ezekiel 12:20

Ezekiel Dramatizes Israel's Anxiety

¹⁹ Then say to the people of the land: 'The Lord Jehovah says concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the land of Israel, They will eat their bread with anxiety and drink their water with horror, because their land will be stripped of its fullness on account of the violence of all who live in it. ²⁰ The inhabited cities will be laid waste and the land will be a desolation. So you will know that I am the Lord.”’” ²¹ Then the word of Jehovah came to me:

I Am the Lord

Know that I Am the Lord
