The prophet now sees the glory of the Lord entirely depart from Jerusalem for the Lord has finished the only work, which he still had to perform there as the covenant God, the work of judgment. The vision is at an end, and the prophet relates the purport of it to the leading men of the colony. Ver. 14. And the word of the Lord came to me and said: Ver. 15. Thou Son of Man, thy brethren, thy brethren are' the men of this ransom, and the whole house of Israel, the whole, they to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem say: far be ye from the Lord! To us the land is given for a possession.
