Now that Ezekiel knows his job full well, God talks to him saying "Say to the the house of Israel".
So Ezekiel, the watchman, has a warning a "beware" to deliver to the people he is on the job for.
‘Surely our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we rot away because of them. How then can we live?’ 11 Say to them, As I live, declares the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live; turn back, turn back from your evil ways, for why will you die, O house of Israel?
It's a fair question to ask don't you think? For God to show them their sin and then ask ... is this the hill you want to die on? What sin is so important that you will die to continue committing it?
