The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
Vindication of God's moral government as to His retributive righteousness, from the Jewish imputation of injustice, as if they were suffering, not for their own sin, but for that of their fathers. As in Ezekiel 17:1-24 he foretold Messiah's happy reign in Jerusalem, so now he warns them that its blessings can be theirs only upon their individually turning to righteousness.
