These passages in Ezekiel and Lamentations are prophetic with a gloom and doom future. The words of hope stand out. As Lamentations chapter 3 will give you whiplash moving from despair to hope so quickly...Ezekiel's words stand out today as God moves toward the redemption of Israel.
"'For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh."
God's judgment is found in the Bible but also His plan of redemption. These two subjects are a part of the overall message of God.
