📚 Historical Context
During the Babylonian exile, the prophet Ezekiel served as a watchman for the exiled Israelites, warning them of God's judgments and calling them to repentance. The people were accusing God of being unfair in His dealings with them, particularly because of their suffering in captivity. However, through Ezekiel, God responded by highlighting that it was actually their own sinful ways that were unjust and inconsistent.
