ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Ezekiel 14

Ezekiel 14 is a chapter that talks about how people were going against God's rules and doing bad things. God sent his prophet Ezekiel to talk to the people and tell them to stop doing bad things and follow God's rules.

The chapter talks about how some people were worshiping not God, but false idols made out of different materials like wood and stone. God was not happy with this because he wanted people to worship and trust only him.

God also told Ezekiel that even if some good people lived among the bad people, they could not save the bad people from punishment because everyone had to take responsibility for their own actions.

God asked Ezekiel to help the people understand that they needed to change their ways and follow his rules so they could live good and happy lives. The chapter ends with God telling Ezekiel that He will punish the people who continue to do bad things and worship false idols, but He will also reward those who turn away from their bad ways and follow Him.
