Ezekiel declared strong rebukes to God’s people because of their idolatry and disobedience. He said words that had to be uttered. God couldn’t wink at their rebellion after He had delivered them from the bondage of Egypt.

God deals with His children for their good.

For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. [Heb. 12:6]
