Ezekiel 16 - 17

God gives Ezekiel two very unique descriptions of the way that He has treated Israel, and the way Israel has responded.  He depicts Israel as an abandoned baby that He chose to love and elevate to royalty.  The newly made princess then turns from her position and becomes adulterous with all the neighboring suitors.  God promises to deal with His adulterous bride as is fitting, He will bring her to the point of shame and humiliation so that she will return.  This is pictures as a vine being picked apart by an eagle.  God will exact punishment on those who refuse to obey Him; and will be vindicated as doing what is right.
