21. 19. Behold I am as a leader sheep [dux ovis] that is brought to the slaughter, saying, Let us destroy the wood in its sap with the fruit thereof, and let us cut it off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered (Jeremiah 11:19).

(Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, when I will raise up unto David a righteous branch, who shall reign a King, and prosper, and do judgment and justice in the earth; and this in His name which they shall call Him, Jehovah our Justice (Jeremiah 23:5-6).

Am I a God at hand and not a God afar off? Can any man hide himself in secret places? Do not I fill heaven and earth (Jeremiah 24)?

(In that day they shall serve Jehovah their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them (Jeremiah 30:8-9).)

The land of Babylon was full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel (Jeremiah 51:5).

Jehovah of Hosts who makes the earth by His power, prepares the world by His wisdom, and stretches out the heavens by His intelligence (Jeremiah 51:15).

He is the former of all things, and of the rod of His inheritance: Jehovah of Hosts is His name, by whom He will do judgment upon all (Jeremiah 51:19-23).

Ezekiel 1:26-28

Study

  

26 And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.

27 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.

28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.
