Ezekiel
Chapter
Ezekiel is written by the prophet of the Exile. The book is divided into two sections; the first denounces the sins and abominations of Jerusalem, and the second looks to the future with the hope that the city will be restored after it has been cleansed. This latter section contains passages strongly messianic in nature.
Ezekiel 17
17:4 He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants.
