"So I did as I was commanded"

Text: Ezekiel 12:7

THE OBEDIENCE OF EZEKIEL

Ezekiel proved himself to be a good and faithful servant. He obeyed the Lord’s command fully.

“So I did as I was commanded.
I brought out my belongings by day, as though going into captivity,
and at evening I dug through the wall with my hand.
I brought them out at twilight, and I bore them on my shoulder in their sight.
And in the morning the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
‘Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you,
‘What are you doing?””
