EZEKIEL 17:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath taken the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to Babylon;”
The riddle addresses the middle men of the house of Judah—those leaders who made the initial treaty with Babylon and understood the political arrangements that bound their nation. These leaders possessed the cognitive and political capacity to understand the consequences of their covenant-breaking through alliance with Egypt. Their rebellion against Babylon represents both political foolishness and theological faithlessness.
