“A ruin! A ruin! I will make it a ruin!” Ezekiel shouts at Israel's Jews.

These, he says, are God's words, not his own, adding:

"I will gather you in my anger and my wrath and put you inside the city and melt you."

It's fair to say that God is not especially pleased with the people who are contractually obliged to worship him in exchange for their own eternal wellbeing.

Their worship of pagan gods has not gone down well with capital G God, and with thousands of Jews already in exile in Babylon - and Jerusalem about to fall - the good times are  most definitely over.
