Ezekiel 12:20

Ezekiel Dramatizes Israel's Anxiety

¹⁹ and thou hast said unto the people of the land, Thus said the Lord Jehovah concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, concerning the land of Israel: Their bread with fear they do eat, and their water with astonishment drink, because its land is desolate, because of its fulness, because of the violence of all who are dwelling in it. ²⁰ And the cities that are inhabited are laid waste, and the land is a desolation, and ye have known that I am Jehovah.' ²¹ And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

I Am the Lord

Know that I Am the Lord
