Ezekiel 11:2
“He said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city;”
What does Ezekiel 11:2 mean?
God is speaking to the prophet Ezekiel about the leaders in Jerusalem who are using their positions to plan harm and spread corrupt advice among the people. These weren't just individuals making private mistakes, but people in power whose words shaped the whole community toward injustice. The message carries a weight we might recognize today: those who lead have a responsibility for what they counsel others toward, and God notices when that influence points people away from what's right. For anyone watching leaders or authority figures, this reminds us to stay alert to whose counsel we're actually following.
