📚 Historical Context
During the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BC, the prophet Ezekiel was warning the people of Judah about God's judgment for their ongoing rebellion and broken covenants. They had made oaths and alliances, such as with Egypt, which they mistakenly saw as reliable protections, but these were exposed as futile in the face of divine justice. God used Ezekiel to remind them that their accumulated sins would lead to their defeat and capture by the Babylonians.
