The World English Bible (WEB): Ezekiel

"The World English Bible (WEB): Ezekiel" by Anonymous is a religious narrative from ancient times, possibly penned in the 500s BC during a period when many Israelites were captives in Babylon. It centers around Ezekiel, a prophet who experiences divine visions and conveys messages from God, particularly focused on Israel's disobedience and wrongdoing, but also providing a path for renewal. At the start, Ezekiel, held captive near the Chebar River, witnesses an awe-inspiring display of God's power, filled with striking images of living beings and wheels covered in eyes. He is then entrusted with a mission to alert the Israelites, urging them to acknowledge their defiance against God setting the tone for the entire story, highlighting themes of punishment, submission, and the possibility of forgiveness.
