14 - hypocrisy of cherishing idols while seeking Ezekiel's prophecy
14 - not even the most righteous intercessors could deliver Jerusalem
15 - Jerusalem is like the wood of a vine, useless except for burning
17 - Israel was like a fruitful tree but will be cut down for casting off God's correction by going to Egypt for help against Assyria.
18 - Each person is responsible for his own faithfulness to God. God is just, doesn't want us to die, and calls us to repent.
19 - Israel raised up some fine rulers, but they have been carried off to Egypt and Babylon.
20 - Israel asks for God's Word. They rebelled before, during and after the exodus, and He had mercy. But they continue, so He will give them no word. If you want to worship idols, go ahead, but I'll remove you from Zion, where Israel will worship me. You will remember and loathe yourself for your sins.
