Thus saith the Lord God: this solemn declaration in God's name the prophet useth by express order, Ezekiel 3:11. This portrayed city's typically Jerusalem, and her inhabitants. I have placed her in a most delightful situation, chosen out the best part of the known world for her; in a neighbourhood to most rich and plenteous countries, with whom she might have conversed and spread forth my name, and which are round about her, either as servants about a mistress, or as meaner houses about the palace or manor of a lord, or as traders about an emporium, much to advantage of Jerusalem.
