📚 Historical Context

Ezekiel was a prophet ministering to the Jewish exiles in Babylon around the 6th century BC, delivering messages of judgment and hope during the Babylonian captivity. In Ezekiel 11, this verse comes from a vision where God condemns the leaders and people in Jerusalem for their idolatry and wicked hearts, promising retribution for those who persisted in detestable practices. As a result, God emphasizes that individual accountability for sins would lead to personal consequences.
