Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shewed me.
Ezekiel's prophetic work was carried out among Israel's captives between 595 and 574 BC. Before he delivered warnings and reproof to his people, he was given visions revealing God's glory. That view of divine majesty enabled him to speak without fear of those to whom he was sent. In this verse he told the captives in Babylonia everything the Lord had shown him, serving as God's mouthpiece among them.
