The armies of Babylon lay siege to Jerusalem when Ezekiel gets a prophecy from God. God is ready to act against Jerusalem.
In the second half of the chapter, God takes away Ezekiel's wife and she dies. This seems harsh to man who follows and obeys God. However, God uses the occasion to let Ezekiel be a sign to the Israelites, who are about to incur many civilian casualties when Jerusalem is attacked. Further, God instructs Ezekiel not to mourn for his wife.
