7: Is it not vain desolation you envisioned and false divination you said? And you are saying ‘Word Yehoweh’ but I have not spoken. Pause and think!

14:And your name went forth among unbelieving nations for your becoming beauty (yapha – becoming beautiful vs paar- beauty v12). It (the name) was complete by my splendour which I, Word Lord Yehoweh, set on you.
19: And my bread which I gave you – I, Word Lord Yehoweh, caused you to be fed. Fine flour and oil and honey. And you gave it in front of them. A resting aroma (Ria + Nikoah – always together all 47 times – always refers to an acceptable offering to God except thrice in Ezekiel).
23: And it happens after all your trouble, Woe, Woe to you. Word Lord Yehoweh. (An unusual sign-off – like in Isaiah).
30: How troubled is your heart to Word Lord Yehoweh for doing all these doings of a dominating woman-harlot.
42: And I caused my fury to rest and caused my jealousy to turn aside from you. And I quietened and rage no more
43: on account of what you had not remembered in the days of your youth and you trembled. For Me, for all these things – and Hey, I, Word Lord Yehoweh, also put your ways on (its) top/head. And you had not devised a plot over all your abomination.
48: Word Lord Yehoweh is life. (Interjected between the wrongs of Jerusalem – vv 44 – 47, her sisters and daughters including Sodom – v 49, their punishable sin being pride, prosperity, laziness and not strengthening the poor and needy. And it included the abomination of the wider neighbour nations vv 50 – 57)
58: You lifted up the schemes and the abominations to Word Yehoweh. Pause and think!

4: Then, to Me, all souls- they are the Father’s soul and like the son’s soul (they) are to Me – they are the soul (fem) who misses the mark. She dies. Pause and think.
9: He walks my statutes and watches my judgements to do truth. He happens – he is living – (to) Word Lord Yehoweh.
23: (After vv 10 – 22 detailing sons who obey and disobey and emphasising that fathers and sons’ sins are independent)

3: Son of man, speak to Israel’s elders. And you said, Thus said Lord Yehoweh, “ Will you come to seek Me? I, Word Lord Yehoweh am life and Oh that I am sought by you!”
31: And through lifting up your gifts to make your sons cross over through the fire, you are defiled by all your idols till this day. And am I sought by you, house of Israel? I, Word Lord Yehoweh am life and I am not sought by you!
33: I, Word Lord Yehoweh am life. Oh that I would not with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm and outpoured fury, rule over you.
36: And as I was judged by your fathers in the wilderness land of Egypt, so I, Word Lord Yehoweh, am judged by you!
40: For on my holy mountain and a high mountain, Israel serves Me, Word Lord Yehoweh, there. All the house of Israel, all in the land, I accept them. And there I seek your offerings and your first-fruit sacrifices and all your holy things.
44: and then you knew that I am Yehoweh through your dealing for the sake of My Name, Word Lord Yehoweh, and not for (the sake of) your troublesome ways and your corrupted doings, house of Israel. Phew!
Prayer:
Lord Yshua, Word of Yehoweh God, Life. We repent and turn back to You for our sinful rebellion is exposed and You cover our nakedness and hope you restore our covenant is restored.
Lord have mercy.
Christ have mercy.
Lord have mercy.
