3 He kept his heart fixed on God,and in times of lawlessness practiced virtue.
4 Except for David, Hezekiah, and Josiah,they all were wicked;They abandoned the Law of the Most High,these kings of Judah, right to the very end.
5 So he gave over their power to others,their glory to a foreign nation
6 Who burned the holy cityand left its streets desolate,
7 As foretold by Jeremiah. They mistreated himwho even in the womb had been made a prophet,To root out, pull down, and destroy,and then to build and to plant.
8 Ezekiel beheld a visionand described the different creatures of the chariot;
9 He also referred to Job,who always persevered in the right path.
