The book is divided into three main sections: oracles against Israel, oracles against foreign nations, and oracles of hope and restoration.

Oracles against Israel detail the sins of the people and the consequences they will face. Ezekiel acts out symbolic acts to illustrate God's judgment, such as lying on his side for a certain number of days to represent the years of punishment for Israel and Judah.

Oracles against foreign nations pronounce judgment on surrounding nations for their wickedness and hostility towards Israel. These oracles emphasize God's sovereignty over all nations.

Oracles of hope and restoration offer a message of future restoration and renewal for Israel. Ezekiel prophesies about the rebuilding of the temple, the coming of the Messiah, and the restoration of Israel to a state of blessing and fellowship with God.

Overall, the Book of Ezekiel combines judgment, warning, and hope, emphasizing the importance of repentance, obedience, and trust in God's promises. Its rich imagery and powerful messages continue to inspire readers to this day.
