In Chapter 16 it really surprised me that Judah or Israel's sins were even greater than the sins of Samaria or Sodom. Until rereading this chapter I always thought that Sodom and Gomorrah were the most wicked cities in the Old Testament.
In Ezekiel 14:18, 20 - it stresses that we cannot rely on the righteousness of others. I need to remember that I am the only one responsible for my actions. It's really easy to blame someone else for my actions or to think that because my parents are living righteous lives that I'll be fine.
This week we have been reading Ezekiel Chapters 18 - 31.

I don't know if you read with commentary, but David J. Ridges has a wonderful series out called "The Old Testament Made Easier" I love the background info and notes he puts in all the verses. Healso has the for the New Testament and Book of Mormon, and D&C. If you haven't heard of them, check them out!!!!
