Several elders of Israel come to Ezekiel and ask him to inquire of God.
God speaks through Ezekiel and discusses much of the oncoming problems and the wickedness that spurned it. In it, God discusses the laws and the Sabbaths (plural) which have been abandoned. It also refers to the Sabbaths as being signs of the covenant between God and Israel. As for the multiple Sabbaths, I think it also refers to the land Sabbaths as well.
God then has Ezekiel prophecy against the southern forest, which will be burned. This comes off strange, but there is a lot of strange stuff in Ezekiel. Meanwhile, the elders here this and at the end of the chapters, the elders question if this is all actually just a bunch of parables.
