Ezekiel 5:5

5 The LORD God proclaims: This is Jerusalem! I have set her in the middle of the nations and surrounding countries.

Ezekiel 5:5 In-Context

3 From that third, take a few strands and hide them in your garment.
4 From that hair, take yet another batch and throw it into the fire and burn it up. From there, fire will spread to the whole house of Israel.
5 The LORD God proclaims: This is Jerusalem! I have set her in the middle of the nations and surrounding countries.
6 But she rebelled against my case laws and my regulations with greater treachery than these nations and surrounding countries, who also rejected my case laws and didn't follow my regulations.
7 Therefore, the LORD God proclaims: You have become more turbulent than these nations around you because you haven't obeyed my regulations or followed my case laws. You haven't even followed the case laws of the nations around you!
