1. I will execute judgment (1-13)

The remnant in Jerusalem after the exile thought that they were the meat in the pot and viewed the exiles as useless bones and garbage. But this was not true. Their leaders were giving wicked advice. They did not preach repentance but taught false security. They did not live by God's word nor teach the people to do so. Again, Ezekiel feared for the remnant of Israel.

2. I have been a sanctuary for them (14-25)

The exiles who repented and remained faithful to God, even though they were far away from home, would be gathered by God and returned. They took sanctuary in the Lord. God would take away their hearts of stone and give them hearts of flesh, alive and responsive to the word of God. They would return and clean up the city.
